What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 7.5% allowance for fragmentation of a 37-acre TV studios and offices site comprising nine buildings acquired and constructed over many decades. The tribunal found the piecemeal construction and multiple buildings did cause material disadvantage to a hypothetical tenant, warranting a fragmentation allowance. However, the tribunal found the most persuasive comparable evidence supported a 2.5% allowance rather than the 7.5% sought, based on comparable cases including The Hut Group decision.
