What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that a structural wall dividing the retail and office areas should be treated as a permanent dividing structure, meaning the office area should be valued separately, resulting in a proposed RV of £41,750. The Valuation Officer contended that the wall was non-structural (timber and glass panes) and should not be included in the assessment, with a 5% masking allowance applied to the Zone B area. The tribunal found that the partition was not permanent in nature and the VO was correct in removing it from the assessment, dismissing the appeal and confirming the RV at £46,250.
