What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought an increase in the allowance for access issues from 10% to 25%, arguing that the location next to a school caused disruption during school drop-off and pick-up times. The tribunal found that while access disruption existed, it was limited to specific weekday periods during school terms. The tribunal considered that the Valuation Officer had already accounted for the school's 2013 procedure change when increasing the allowance to 10%, and that the combined end allowances of 17.5% (7.5% for non-estate location plus 10% for access) were reasonable. The appeal was dismissed.
