What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought reductions to the wharf length, land area, and requested a 10% end allowance for layout/shape at three different valuation dates. The tribunal rejected the appellant's arguments for reducing the wharf length from 199m to 150m (and from 400m to 300m at the later date), finding satellite evidence and website content showed active use along the full length. The tribunal also rejected the proposed land area reduction and concluded that the 10% end allowance was no longer justified after one of the two separate buildings was removed. The tribunal confirmed the Valuation Officer's revised valuations of £465,000 (1 April 2017), £380,000 (1 April 2018), and £525,000 (1 January 2019).
