What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (Claire's Accessories UK Ltd) sought a material change in circumstances allowance of 20% for disruption caused by adjacent building works at the former BHS property, proposing to reduce the RV from £22,250 to £12,000. The appellant argued noise, dust, vibration, loss of footfall and physical damage from the works. The tribunal found insufficient evidence that the disruption was severe enough to warrant an allowance, noting that unlike comparable cases in Old Town Street and St Andrew Cross (which received 7.5% allowances), the hoarding and scaffolding did not cover or directly affect the subject property's frontage or access. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £22,250 was confirmed.
