What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable value should be reduced by 10% to reflect the severe disability of flooding risk, citing comparable properties where the Valuation Officer had applied similar end allowances. The tribunal found that the subject property could be distinguished from comparable properties due to its unique disadvantage of having Blackburn Brook running through and underneath the site, combined with its location outside the first flood defences, making it subject to a severe disability that a hypothetical tenant would seek to reflect in their rental bid. The appeal was allowed with the rateable value reduced from £231,000 to £208,000.
