What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 15% allowance for disadvantages arising from shared access over the subject property to allow access to adjacent hereditament. The tribunal found that the disadvantages of loading/unloading, congestion and security issues would reduce rental value and exceeded the 5% allowances applied to comparable properties with narrow access issues. The tribunal allowed the appeal and confirmed the reduced RV of £139,000 with a 15% allowance applied.
