What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the ground floor should receive a relativity of 0.7 because it was restricted by the first floor structure and supporting columns, similar to mezzanine properties. The tribunal found that whilst a height restriction justified a 5% allowance (already applied), the first floor was integral to the building's structure rather than an addition, and comparable properties on the same estate with similar construction had received no additional relativity. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the base rate of £55.00/m² with 2.5% heating and 5% height allowances was reasonable.
