What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the factory had layout disabilities due to internal dividing walls and steel structural supports restricting usability and forklift movement, seeking a 5% layout allowance to reduce the RV from £395,000 to £375,000. The tribunal found that steel supports are standard for buildings of this size and that occupiers had adapted the layout as needed; the neighbouring property at 1-5 Campfield Road, rated slightly higher at £30/m² with no allowance, supported the assessment. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence to warrant an end allowance and that comparable evidence provided did not demonstrate similar layout disabilities.
