What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value based on a material change of circumstances caused by roadworks on the A4119 that began on 15th August 2022 and ended on 13th December 2024, arguing for end allowances of 5-7.5%. The Tribunal found that whilst the roadworks had caused inconvenience, the appellant failed to provide evidence demonstrating how the alleged detriments (noise, vibration, loss of trade, increased fuel costs) manifested in reduced rental values, which is the critical measure under the statutory valuation basis. The appeals were dismissed as the appellant bore the burden of proof and had not discharged it with evidence of sufficient quality.
