What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a 5% allowance for a disability relating to a ramp at the rear of the property, which would reduce the RV from £25,000 to £23,500. The tribunal found that the ramp had a minimal gradient (approximately 1 inch per 2 feet or 4.2 cm per metre) and that any impact within the property was minimal, concluding it did not constitute a disability warranting an allowance. The appeal was dismissed and the existing assessment of £25,000 was upheld.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was GREENHALGHS CRAFT BAKERY LTD, represented.
