What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought additional allowances for material changes of circumstances comprising disturbance from adjacent building works at 1-2 Broadgate and 1-14 Liverpool Street, and a further 2.5% allowance for loss of amenity to Broadgate Circle. The tribunal found the VO's allowances were reasonable as the most disruptive demolition works had occurred before the material date of 13 January 2023, the BREEAM outstanding specification would shield occupiers from external noise and dust, and the loss of amenity did not compare to comparable schemes. The appeals were dismissed.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was British Land T/A Storey, represented.
