What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the subject car showroom on an industrial estate should be valued at a lower tone than prime retail park locations due to lack of visibility and prominence. The tribunal found significant disparity between the subject's location and comparable properties on retail parks with £100/m² tone, which had themselves been reduced from £125/m². The tribunal determined £80/m² was fair and reasonable given the sub-prime location, lack of road visibility, and precedent of reductions for visibility-impaired car showrooms.
