What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list entry of £229,000 (reduced to £214,000 by the VO) for a storage depot comprising two separate buildings, contending a 10% fragmentation allowance was appropriate rather than the VO's 5%. The tribunal found that physically separate buildings presented more disability than terraced units but less than multiple buildings, and placed most weight on the comparable example of Units 1-2 Langley Connect where two separate buildings received a 10% allowance, thus allowing the appeal and setting the value at £203,000.
