What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 15% allowance or reduction to zone A rate of £230 per m2 to reflect poor access and restricted visibility of the ground floor retail premises raised 1.5 metres above pavement. The tribunal found that rental evidence from comparable properties on the same side of Falcon Road supported the zone A rate of £400 per m2, and that the appellant's comparable properties demonstrating similar allowances were in more prominent retail locations and not comparable in effect. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £17,750 confirmed.
