- Case number
- LDLR7/2016
The Tribunal held that the Relevant Covenant in the Block Government Lease operates as a prohibition that falls within s12(c) LRO so that any expectancy of obtaining a building licence or lease modification for NTEH cannot be taken into account; evidence showed no vehicular access to either the Northern or Southern Sites at the resumption date; accordingly the best use was open storage with pedestrian access only and compensation was assessed by reference to open storage comparables with specified adjustments, producing the awards set out in the judgment.
