What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought end allowances of 5% for poor/shared access and 2.5% for fragmentation of the three-part warehouse property. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence to support either allowance. The appellant had cited comparable properties with similar allowances and the neighbouring tyre centre's 5% access allowance as support, but the tribunal concluded that each case must be judged on its own merits with sufficient detail about the specific disadvantages, which had not been adequately demonstrated here.
