What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants contended that a landslip causing closure of Cumberland Road warranted a 10% allowance to reflect reduced access to the subject hereditaments. The tribunal found that while the closure did cause disruption and inconvenience, particularly during the circa three-month full closure period, the temporary nature of the disruption and subsequent partial reopening did not justify the full 10% sought. The tribunal awarded a 5% allowance, consistent with comparable allowances granted for road works affecting other Bristol properties, to reflect the genuine but limited impact on enjoyment of the properties.
