What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to merge two contiguous hereditaments and argued for a 10% end allowance for fragmentation/split site, plus 5% allowances for asbestos roof and poor internal layout. The Valuation Officer argued for no asbestos allowance. The tribunal allowed the appeal, finding that a comparable property (Hull Cartridge Co Ltd) with a merged assessment had a 10% end allowance for fragmentation, and that the asbestos roof and poor layout allowances should continue as they had been granted in previous rating lists without any physical changes to warrant removal.
