What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a consulting company occupying a sixth-floor office at Commodity Quay, London, sought a 10% allowance for poor natural light due to arched windows compared to other floors. The tribunal found that while there was a natural light disadvantage, the existing assessment of £355/m2 was already conservative relative to the analysed rental evidence from comparable floors within the building, and therefore dismissed the appeal without warrant for an additional allowance.
