What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £53,500 (at £350/m²) arguing for £33,000 (at £250/m²) based on rental evidence, claiming a larger hard frontage allowance and lower relativity for the masked retail area. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's zone A rate of £340/m² supported by rental comparables on Gloucester Road (286, 274, and 264 Gloucester Road) and upheld the 7.5% hard frontage allowance. However, the tribunal agreed the masked retail area behind a solid wall should be valued at A/10 relativity rather than A/8, reducing the overall assessment to £41,500 RV.
