What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants claimed material change of circumstances due to the opening and expansion of Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre, which negatively impacted retail properties in Northampton town centre. The tribunal found that Rushden Lakes was within the same locality as the appeal properties and that the negative effects were physically manifest in the town centre through reduced pedestrian flow and trade. The entries were reduced by 7½%, the allowance previously agreed by the parties, with effect from 28 June 2019.

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