What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that neighbouring groundworks beginning in October 2021 had caused water ingress, soil blowing onto the site, and disruption to vehicle and pedestrian access, warranting a 15% reduction to £445,000. The tribunal found that the land had been recognised as boggy when originally valued, the flooding photographs showed water only in the carpark which remained usable, no impact on main buildings or business operations was demonstrated, and the burden of proof had not been satisfied.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, represented.
