What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the opening of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre in July 2017 and its expansion in June 2019 drew footfall and revenue away from Wellingborough town centre properties, requiring end allowances to be applied. The tribunal determined that Wellingborough fell within the same locality as Rushden Lakes, following a previous decision on the same issue. The parties had agreed 10% reductions for seven properties and agreed the effective date of 28 June 2019, though Poundland's argument for an earlier date of 28 July 2017 was rejected as the material date was post-expansion. All eight appeals were allowed with 10% reductions.
