What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a retail property that had been used for personal storage since 2000 should be valued as industrial space using a lower valuation scheme, and sought a 7.5% allowance for shared access and limited parking. The tribunal found that the property, despite its current use and disadvantages, was constructed and fitted out for retail use, could be re-used for that purpose, and no evidence showed that access and parking had become an issue since previous appeals. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and confirmed the rateable value of £18,750 as not unreasonable.
