What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 10% reduction in the rateable value of a Barclays bank branch due to disruption caused by building works to a neighbouring BHS store, which lasted from April 2018 to April 2021. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant had failed to present evidence demonstrating the actual impact of the works on the appeal property, noting that scaffolding was removed before the material date and that most works were fit-out works with minimal impact. The tribunal also found that, unlike restaurants reliant on passing trade, a bank customer base would visit regardless of temporary disruption.
