What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought 7.5% allowances for material change of circumstance caused by HS2 construction works opposite the properties from January 2020 to July 2021. The tribunal found the works would significantly impact a hypothetical tenant's rental bid but not sufficiently to justify the full 7.5% sought. The tribunal allowed the appeals in part and awarded 5% allowances instead, reducing the rateable values to £90,500 and £44,000 respectively.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Scodie Deyong LLP, represented.
