What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 7.5% allowance for disturbance caused by HS2 development works opposite the subject properties during 1 January 2020 to 31 July 2021, claiming this would reduce RV from £95,000 to £88,000. The tribunal found the works did cause significant detrimental impact on the hypothetical tenant's rental bid, but was satisfied that 5% allowances (rather than 7.5%) were reasonable, resulting in revised RVs of £90,500 and £44,000 respectively.
