What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought reduction of the rateable value from £232,000 on grounds of vacant second floor, poor access, shared site/access and adjacent building works disturbance. The tribunal rejected the superfluity argument for the vacant second floor but accepted stage 5 end allowances of 2.5% each for poor access/egress and shared site/access issues, and 2.5% for disturbance from adjacent building works. This produced a revised RV of £221,000.
