What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in RV from £13,000 to £11,000, requesting a 10% end allowance for access to the site which it contended was narrow and shared with other businesses, and seeking removal of a £750 exercise area. The tribunal found that photographs from the appellant's website demonstrated the exercise area was actively used for business purposes, and rejected the comparable property argument for an access allowance as lacking proper explanation and supporting evidence. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £13,000 was confirmed.
