What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 20% reduction (£1,264,000) for disruption caused by demolition and building works to the rear and side of the property. The tribunal found that whilst the VOA had correctly identified a material change of circumstances, the appellant had overstated the disruption. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, awarding a 12.5% allowance for the combined effect of two sets of works (demolition at the rear and development at Rose Court to the side), reducing the rateable value to £1,370,000.
