What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to increase the end allowance for poor layout/fragmentation from 5% to 20%, proposing a revised RV of £1,015,000. The tribunal found that no evidence had been presented to demonstrate that the property's layout had changed from previous rating lists, and was not persuaded by the comparable properties cited as they had been valued on different bases. The tribunal upheld the VO's 5% allowance, considering that seeking a higher end allowance would constitute double-counting of adjustments made in the contractors method valuation.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Johnson Matthey Plc, represented.
