What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 15% reduction in rateable value due to disruption from roadworks outside her café premises from January to April 2018, which affected access and trading. The Valuation Officer conceded a 10% reduction to £16,000, comparable to reductions granted to neighbouring properties similarly affected. The tribunal allowed the appeal to the extent conceded, finding the VO's analysis of the works' duration, severity and impact reasonable, and that the 10% allowance adequately reflected the temporary loss of trade without providing additional compensation for lost custom.
