What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought reductions in wharf length, land area, and claimed a 10% end allowance for layout/shape. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's revised values after the VO reduced its challenge case decision offers. The appellant's contentions regarding wharf length reduction from 199m to 150m (or 400m to 300m as at 1 January 2019), one-third reduction in circulation land area, and the 10% end allowance for layout were all rejected. The tribunal found no evidence of insufficient demand or unusable access, distinguished the cited comparables from different dock locations, and determined that once Shed 4 was removed there was no justification for the 10% end allowance.
