What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list entry of £7,900 RV for a shop and premises, proposing £6,700 with disputes over the valuation of second floor storage and masking adjustments for structural walls in Zones A and B. The tribunal rejected the claim for a 50% reduction to second floor storage (finding the measurement already excluded restricted headroom areas) but allowed an adjustment for masking caused by structural walls affecting Zones A and B totalling £377. The tribunal determined a revised RV of £7,700 (which also included a previously omitted rear store discovered during inspection).
