What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants sought a 5% reduction in rateable values on the basis of a material change of circumstances caused by nearby building works at The Peninsula London development. The tribunal found insufficient evidence that the works would have impacted the properties significantly as at the material dates (December 2019 and February 2020), noting that demolition was completed in September 2017 and major construction was near completion. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that comparable properties cited were in different localities with material dates closer to the demolition phase, and that photographs showed minimal external works with free-flowing traffic.
