What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the end allowance should be increased from 5% to 7.5% to account for cramped access and poor layout, citing one comparable property. The tribunal found that the appeal property actually had several access points and better access than the comparable property cited, and found no evidence to support an increase in the end allowance. The appeal was dismissed.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Watts Clift Holdings, represented.
