What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of the shop property, arguing for a 10% allowance due to poor location and lack of access. The tribunal agreed that an allowance should be granted due to the property being set back from Dudley Road and accessible only via residential streets, which would reduce visibility and footfall. However, the tribunal concluded that 5% was the appropriate allowance, not 10%, by reference to the 7.5% allowance granted to a comparable property with worse disabilities, resulting in a rateable value of £15,250.
