What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £580,000 RV to £360,000 RV, arguing that the rent passing on the property and the presence of three-level mezzanine floors supported a lower assessment, and that the property should receive an end allowance for shared access. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, reducing the RV to £465,000 on the basis that the unadjusted main space rate of £38/m2 was unreasonable, and adopting a reduced rate of £35/m2 reflecting the property's physical attributes and the passing rent. The tribunal rejected the claim for a 10% end allowance for shared access as no new evidence was presented to demonstrate this created a significant disadvantage warranting such an allowance.
