What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant companies challenged six industrial properties on the basis that assessments were adversely affected by substantial roadworks from the A414 Edinburgh Way/Cambridge Road junction improvement scheme, which commenced 1 January 2018 and concluded 12 October 2020. The appellant sought a 5% allowance; the tribunal found the roadworks would have adversely affected the properties and the hypothetical tenant/landlord negotiations, but due to the location of the properties (accessed via River Way roundabout with approximately 2-mile diversions), awarded a 2.5% allowance rather than the 5% sought, allowing the appeals in part.
