What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that an allowance should be granted to reflect the excessive proportion of bedrooms within the club property, seeking to reduce the RV from £825,000 to £765,000 based on a ratio of 0.040. The tribunal found that the appellant's comparable evidence did not demonstrate the ratio of 0.064 assigned by the listing officer was excessive, and held that no credible evidence had been submitted to show the bedrooms would not all be used under the statutory hypothesis of vacant and to let.
