What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a warehouse and premises, arguing the main space price should be reduced from £80/m² to £65/m² and that fragmentation and shape allowances should apply. The tribunal found the main space price should be reduced to £70/m², comparing the subject property to similar units in the valuation scheme, particularly Unit 3 Thames Gateway Park. However, the tribunal rejected the requested fragmentation and shape allowances, finding the two large doorways and external access to the extension did not support a rental discount, and the angle of the extension wall was not sufficiently sharp to warrant an allowance. The tribunal reduced the RV from £342,500 to £297,500.
