What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants argued that the opening and expansion of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre constituted a material change of circumstances affecting the rateable values of retail units in Kettering and Corby town centres. The tribunal accepted that Rushden Lakes fell within the locality of the Kettering properties and that the evidence supported a 5% allowance for end valuation, which the Valuation Officer had conceded. The Corby appeal was dismissed as the tribunal found insufficient evidence of impact. Three Kettering appeals were allowed in part with a 5% reduction effective 28 June 2019; the Corby appeal was dismissed.
