What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the £79,500 RV assessment, proposing £50,250 based on a lower zone A rate and arguing that a raised, partitioned back area should not be treated as standard zone B. The tribunal found agreement on a £995/m2 zone A rate but rejected the appellant's argument about the raised area, determining that as the partitioning wall was non-structural and absent evidence of reduced value, the area should be treated as standard zone B. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, reducing the RV to £65,500.
