What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 10% temporary allowance (revised RV £116,000) for disruption caused by the Nine Mile Ride extension road construction, arguing the works were of R1/R2 severity. The Valuation Officer had conceded to a 5% allowance (RV £122,000). The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that at the material day (25 November 2021) only a road diversion remained, access to the estate was available from multiple points, and there was no evidence of impact on trade. The tribunal determined that the 5% allowance was reasonable and comparable to the Pincents Lane roadworks case.
