What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants contended that entries for eight retail properties in Wellingborough did not reflect a material change of circumstances caused by the opening of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre in July 2017 and its expansion in June 2019, which drew footfall and revenue away from surrounding town centres. The tribunal, following earlier precedent, determined that Wellingborough fell within the same locality as Rushden Lakes and agreed reductions of 10% in all cases, effective 28 June 2019 (the date of the phase two expansion).

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Barclays Bank Plc, represented.
