What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a 10% temporary allowance was warranted for Nine Mile Ride extension roadworks, citing their severity and duration as comparable to R1/R2 category events. The tribunal found that at the material day (25 November 2021) only a road diversion remained in place, access was available throughout the works, and no evidence demonstrated trade impact at that date. The tribunal upheld the 5% allowance as reasonable given these circumstances.
