What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants contended that a material change of circumstances had occurred due to the opening and expansion of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre, which lay within the same locality as the appeal properties in Northampton town centre. The tribunal found the preliminary locality issue in favour of the appellants, adopting reasoning from prior panels that Rushden Lakes, approximately 15 miles away, was within the same locality and its negative effects were physically manifest in the town centre. Accordingly, the entries were reduced by the agreed allowance of 7½% to reflect this material change.
