Ground Floor North, 40 Clifton Street, EC2A 4DX

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought end allowances for disturbance caused by a street market opening directly in front of the property, claiming 15% for ground floor, 11.5% for first floor and 6.5% for second floor, plus 1.5% amenity loss. The tribunal found the market had a negative impact on the property, affecting lettability and requiring increased pest control, and awarded 5% allowance for ground floors (as most affected), 3% for first floor and 2% for second floor. The tribunal rejected the appellant's requested allowances as too severe and did not accept the 1.5% amenity allowance for loss of parking spaces as the property had its own basement parking.
