What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that closure of the Broadmarsh car park and bus station warranted a 20% allowance for the subject shop property on Lister Gate, claiming reduced footfall and empty units. The tribunal found that while the MCC did negatively impact rental values and was supported by trade evidence showing 17-34% falls, a 20% allowance was not fully supported by evidence. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, awarding a 15% allowance (reducing RV to £47,000) as being adequate to reflect the severity of the redevelopment works in the locality.
