What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 5% end allowance for poor access to reduce the RV from £28,250 to £26,750, relying on photographic evidence and comparable properties with similar allowances. The tribunal found that while there was an access issue, the appellant had not satisfactorily demonstrated that this caused practical difficulty for the occupier or presented sufficient comparable evidence to justify the allowance. The appeal was dismissed and the RV was confirmed at £28,250.
