What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that end allowances from the 2010 rating list (5% for quantum and 7.5% for access) should be carried forward to the 2017 list, and sought a further 5% allowance for the property's large size (9,693m²). The tribunal found that each rating list stands on its own merit based on evidence at the relevant antecedent valuation date, and comparable industrial properties of similar size did not support any quantum allowance. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to provide sufficient rental evidence to demonstrate that additional allowances were warranted.
