What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value on the ground that the properties' fragmented layouts warranted end allowances to reflect disabilities affecting their marketability. For Units 1E & 1G, the tribunal found significant layout disabilities (units facing different directions and separated by a wall, requiring outdoor access between them) and allowed a 5% end allowance, reducing the RV from £30,750 to £29,250. For Units 5 & 10, the tribunal found the divided space with internal walls reduced marketability but the presence of connecting doorways for forklift access warranted only a 2.5% allowance, reducing the RV from £61,000 to £59,500.
