What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the compiled list assessment of £26,000 RV for lorry park land, arguing the rates per m2 were too high based on comparable neighbouring assessments and that a 5% allowance should apply for poor location and access. The tribunal found the comparable assessments supported some reduction but rejected the appellant's proposed figures. It adopted £3.75 per m2 for surfaced land and £3.00 per m2 for unsurfaced land, and granted a 2.5% allowance (rather than 5%) for poor access from one direction, reducing the assessment to £23,500 RV.
