What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought an additional 5% allowance for fragmentation to reflect the heavily fragmented interior of the warehouse, which consisted of three separate sections divided by load-bearing structural walls. The tribunal found that the respondent's revised assessment of £61,500 RV had not adequately reflected the fragmentation issue, and determined that a 5% fragmentation allowance was fair and reasonable based on comparable assessments where similar internally fragmented properties had received such allowances. The tribunal allowed the appeal and determined the RV at £58,000.
