What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that temporary roadworks from 8 February 2021, which closed one main access route and subjected it to narrow lanes and temporary traffic lights, caused sufficient disruption to warrant a reduction in rateable value of approximately 10%. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that comparable cases cited by both parties involved more severe and prolonged disruption, and that a hypothetical landlord would not reduce rent given that alternative access via a diversion route remained available throughout, even if hindered.
