What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £14,750 to £13,750 on the basis that a 2.5% allowance should be applied to reflect single glazing on three-quarters of one wall, and a 5% end allowance should be applied for access difficulties. The tribunal found that although the wall had significant single glazing, the allowance for non-insulated walls was not warranted because the walls themselves were insulated and the glazing issue had not affected the rent passing; the access to the unit was not particularly narrow and no other comparable properties on the development had been granted similar allowances.
