What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the FMT of £170,000 wet and £300,000 dry was excessive, citing a temporary boost from contractors at the nearby Porton Down construction project, competition from new licensed properties, and declining trade trends. The tribunal found the current FMT figures were reasonable and that insufficient evidence had been provided to support the claimed impacts, noting that comparable properties near the same construction project had not shown similar trade declines, and that the hypothetical tenant would not have known of future trade at the AVD. The appeal was dismissed and the RV remained at £35,000.
