What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants submitted that the opening of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre in July 2017, and its expansion in June 2019, had drawn footfall and revenue away from the subject properties in Wellingborough town centre, and that this material change of circumstances should be reflected by end allowances. The tribunal determined that Wellingborough fell within the same locality as Rushden Lakes (following an earlier tribunal decision on this point), and the parties had agreed 10% reductions in respect of the adverse effect of Rushden Lakes. The tribunal allowed the appeals with effect from 28 June 2019.
