OFFICE K 2ND FLR, 100 LIVERPOOL STREET, EC2M 2AT

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought additional allowances above those granted by the Valuation Officer for disturbance from building works at adjacent 1-2 Broadgate and 1-14 Liverpool Street sites, and a 2.5% allowance for loss of amenity. The tribunal found the VO's arguments more persuasive, determining that the most disruptive demolition works had occurred before the material date (13 January 2023) and that the BREEAM outstanding rating of the appeal building would shield it from noise and dust. The tribunal held that the VO's allowances were reasonable and dismissed all appeals without granting additional relief.
