What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the opening of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre in July 2017 and its expansion in June 2019 had drawn footfall and revenue away from Wellingborough town centre, necessitating end allowances to the rateable values of the subject properties. The tribunal, following an earlier decision by Mr Levy on the locality issue, determined that Wellingborough fell within the same locality as Rushden Lakes. The parties agreed 10% reductions reflecting this material change of circumstances, and the tribunal allowed the appeals with an effective date of 28 June 2019.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Barclays Bank Plc, represented.
