What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a 5% end allowance should be applied to reflect poor layout issues caused by three warehouses separated by walls with small openings and three external stores with external access only. The tribunal found that while layout issues existed, particularly a half-meter difference in floor levels between bays affecting vehicle movement, a 2.5% end allowance (rather than the sought 5%) was appropriate to reflect these disadvantages. The appeal was allowed in part, reducing the RV from £97,000 to £94,500.
