What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the subject hereditament, located on a former landfill site, should receive a 55% end quality adjustment as comparator compounds on the same site had received this allowance. The tribunal found that the valuation officer's rationale for limiting adjustments to compounds at the edge of the site was inconsistent, since compounds granted the 55% allowance were distributed across the site's boundary. The tribunal allowed the appeal and granted the 55% quality adjustment, reducing the RV from £23,500 to £10,500.
