What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the RV of £21,750 (reduced from £22,000 at check), proposing £8,600 based on a different yard measurement and methodology excluding land beneath storage containers. The tribunal found the correct yard measurement was 1,328 m² (not the VO's 1,458 m²), agreed that land occupied by the storage containers should not be double-counted at £10/m² when separately valued at £150 per container, and allowed a 5% reduction for sloping site. The tribunal rejected the appellant's proposed lower container valuation of £82.39 and their 5% deduction for lack of mains water/drainage, determining the correct RV at £12,250.
