What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 7.5% end allowance for fragmentation due to dividing walls and pillars, and removal of 1,025m² of hard surfaced land used for access and loading. The tribunal found the rental evidence on the appeal property supported the original £60,000 RV, that fragmentation was not sufficiently pronounced to warrant an allowance, and that photographs clearly showed the yard was being used for storage, not merely access, so the land properly remained in the valuation. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to support the case that the valuation was unreasonable.
