What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that roadworks affecting the A414 Edinburgh Way/Cambridge Road junction constituted a material change of circumstances causing disruption to the subject industrial properties off Edinburgh Way. The tribunal found substantial roadworks affecting the hypothetical tenant's rental negotiations but reduced the requested 5% allowance to 2.5%, reflecting the properties' more remote location compared to properties directly on Edinburgh Way, where the Valuation Officer had agreed 10% and 7.5% allowances.
