What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 20% reduction in the rateable value for the period 1 August 2018 to 20 April 2020 to reflect disruption caused by redevelopment and refurbishment works at the adjacent property (17-20 New Bond Street), which shared a party wall and created noise, vibration, and hoarding obstruction. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence to justify the 20% allowance. The tribunal was not persuaded that the party wall exposure was as significant as claimed, that the hoarding substantially impaired visibility, that rear access issues were material to a hypothetical tenant, or that the proposed period extended beyond the completion of works in October 2019.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Eskenazi Limited, represented.
