What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants sought a 2.5% reduction in rateable value for five properties based on a material change of circumstances from the A63 Castle Street Road improvement scheme, relying on comparable allowances from other schemes and reference to nearby English Street properties where 5% was agreed. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that the appeal properties (0.6–1.44 miles from the works) were not sufficiently impacted to affect a hypothetical tenant's rental bid, as no evidence demonstrated disturbance or impact on those specific properties, and comparable schemes did not provide reliable guidance without evidence of comparable impact.
