What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the length of wharf, area of storage land, and end allowance for layout/shape should be reduced. The tribunal rejected the appellant's submissions on wharf length reduction, finding satellite imagery and business website references demonstrated demand for the full 199m (and 400m post-removal of Shed 4). The tribunal also rejected a one-third reduction in land area for circulation, distinguishing the subject dock estate from the Goole comparables and finding this was not standard practice. The tribunal agreed the 10% end allowance should not apply after Shed 4's removal. The appeals were allowed only to the extent of the Valuation Officer's proposed reductions, which the tribunal confirmed.
