What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that disadvantages and disabilities to the site, including limited vehicular access and insufficient parking, warranted an end allowance. The tribunal accepted the base rate of £150/m² as reasonable and supported by comparable properties, but found merit in the appellant's arguments regarding site constraints. The tribunal granted a 10% end allowance for disadvantages and disabilities, reducing the rateable value from £145,000 (the VO's revised figure) to £130,000.
