What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the £155,000 RV (reduced from £169,000), arguing for £108,000 based on inferior position, lighting issues, sealed upper floors, and removal of allowances from the 2010 list. The tribunal found the £100/m² rate reasonable given the property's size and location on the Promenade, rejected comparable evidence from distant locations, and concluded that valuation changes from zoned to overall approach meant prior allowances should not be reinstated to avoid double counting. The appeal was dismissed.
