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

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought increased allowances for disturbance caused by major building works at two adjacent developments (1-2 Broadgate and 1-14 Liverpool Street) and a 2.5% allowance for loss of amenity. The Tribunal found that the most disruptive demolition works had already concluded before the material date (13 January 2023), that the remaining superstructure works would be largely shielded by the property's BREEAM outstanding specification, and that the allowances already granted by the Valuation Officer were reasonable and fair. No allowance for loss of amenity was warranted as the impact on the public space was not as severe as comparable properties relied upon.
