What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 10% temporary allowance for construction of the Nine Mile Ride road extension, arguing it was a severe MCC event comparable to other major roadworks. The tribunal found that at the material day (25 November 2021), only a road diversion remained in place and access to the estate was available from multiple directions, with no evidence of trade impact. The tribunal upheld the 5% allowance previously awarded by the Valuation Officer as reasonable in the circumstances.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Quintex Systems Ltd, represented.
