What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that external roadworks on Rutherford Street (the vehicle access road for Nexus House, an office building in Newcastle City Centre) warranted a temporary 15% MCC allowance due to loss of car park access, restricted supplier/waste access, and noise disturbance, with effect from 8 January 2024. The Valuation Officer reduced the RV from £525,000 to £515,000 to account only for parking removal. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence that the roadworks would have affected hypothetical rental value beyond the car park impact already reflected in the £515,000 figure, and distinguishing the circumstances from previous comparable allowances at the property and other sites.
