What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £23,250 to £14,000, arguing the property should be valued as a workshop and premises (like the adjacent unit) rather than as a tyre and exhaust centre, and claiming end allowances for access and height restrictions. The tribunal found the property was correctly categorised as a tyre and exhaust centre based on its physical features (roller door frontages, compressor and pipework) and rejected the end allowance claims due to multiple entrances available. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV of £23,250 based on comparable evidence including the Hi Q letting at £55.82psm.
