Home Bargains, Ground Floor, 21-27 South Walk, 21-27 South Walk, BS37 4AU

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property should be valued on an overall basis rather than zoning method to avoid an apparent anomaly from the property split, or alternatively with a 40% quantum allowance. The tribunal found the property should be valued using the zoning method with a zone A rate of £575/m2, consistent with settled tone of value in the locality and the VO's scheme. However, the tribunal awarded a 20% quantum allowance (rather than the VO's 2.5% or the appellant's 40%) to reflect the unit being larger than most others in the shopping centre, resulting in an RV of £183,000.
