What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued for a 15% fragmentation allowance for the site's fragmented layout with three separate buildings, and that hard-surfaced areas used solely for access, loading and circulation should carry no value. The tribunal dismissed both arguments, finding that the valuation officer had not erred in applying no fragmentation allowance (contrary to comparable sites that had received allowances) and that the lorry park and covered walkway were appropriately valued as distinct features of the site.
