What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 10% end allowance to reflect flooding risk at the industrial property. The tribunal found insufficient evidence to justify the allowance. Although the property had experienced flooding in 2008 and 2015, flood defences installed by April 2017 prevented further flooding, and no similar allowances had been given to comparable riverside properties. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and upheld the assessment at £158,000 RV.
