What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged six industrial properties' rateable values contending they were adversely affected by substantial roadworks on the A414 Edinburgh Way/Cambridge Road junction from 1 January 2018 to 12 October 2020, seeking a 5% reduction. The tribunal found the roadworks were substantial in duration and intensity and would affect hypothetical tenant/landlord negotiations, but reduced the allowance to 2.5% rather than 5% because the properties were located off Edinburgh Way and therefore experienced lesser disruption than comparable properties situated directly on the main route. Appeals were allowed in part.
