What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the opening and expansion of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre constituted a material change of circumstances affecting Northampton town centre retail properties. The tribunal determined that Rushden Lakes was within the same locality as the appeal properties (being approximately 15 miles away and within 30 minutes' travel), and that the retail park's negative effects were physically manifest in the town centre. The tribunal allowed the appeals and reduced entries by 7½% from the effective date of 28 June 2019, the expansion date of Rushden Lakes.
