F45 Gym, 7 Avon Street, BA1 1UN

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the gymnasium became incapable of beneficial occupation following flooding on 25 July 2020 and sought deletion or reduction to £1 from that date. The tribunal found that while the property had suffered flood damage, it had only undergone minor strip-out works and remained in a state of disrepair capable of economic repair; the works envisaged (circa £100,000) were not so extensive as to constitute redevelopment to a shell condition comparable to Canary Wharf, and evidence of continued use as a gym post-flood supported that beneficial occupation remained possible.
