What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £23,000 RV to £10,000 based on a Zone A rate of £225 per m² and allowances for demolition and vacancy, arguing the subject property's rent had fallen significantly since the AVD. The tribunal found that whilst the rent had declined, it was obliged to assess the property by reference to the AVD of 1 April 2015, at which point the subject property had been let at £25,000 pa, supporting the current assessment. The tribunal also rejected the physical allowances because the subject property's location in the busier upper part of Holmeside was not affected to the same extent as properties further along the street.
