What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £5,300 RV to £3,700 RV, disputing the zone A unit price of £175/m² (arguing for £150/m²), seeking a 10% allowance for steps (instead of the 5% conceded), and a 5% masking allowance. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable evidence less reliable and insufficient. The rental evidence supported the £175/m² rate, the 5% step allowance was consistent with comparable properties, and no masking allowance was justified as pillars were reflected in the rental analysis. The appeal was dismissed, leaving the assessment at £4,700 RV.
