What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £31,250 (later reduced to £30,500 by the VO), arguing for £21,000 based on a rate of £85/m² plus a 10% end allowance for poor access. The tribunal found that the comparable properties in the same scheme supported the lower rate of £85/m². The tribunal rejected the 10% end allowance, finding that poor access was already reflected in the rental evidence. The tribunal determined the correct RV to be £23,500 at £85/m², allowing the appeal in part.
