What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the A63 Castle Street Road improvement scheme caused material change of circumstances warranting a 2.5% reduction across all five subject properties. The appellants referred to comparable schemes nationally and three English Street properties where 5% was agreed. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that the properties were 0.6–1.44 miles from the scheme and that the appellants had not provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the works had impacted the hypothetical tenant's rental bid, despite the area being congested prior to the works.
