What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 10% allowance for poor access and 7% for floor level variations at an industrial property. The tribunal, having regard to comparable properties and the weight-restricted access at the subject property similar to Hope Mill, considered the Valuation Officer's revised allowance of 7.5% for poor access to be reasonable. The tribunal found no sufficient evidence to support maintaining a 7% allowance for floor level variation when no comparable evidence was provided, and dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV at £123,000.
