What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (Scott Timber Limited) challenged the rateable value of the subject property (Factory and Premises), arguing for a reduced RV of £106,000 based on a lower unit rate of £18 psm and seeking end allowances of 10% for access and 5% for asbestos management. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, accepting an end allowance of 5% for access difficulties arising from the dead-end residential location, and an end allowance of 2.5% for asbestos management costs. The tribunal rejected the challenge to the unadjusted base rate of £20 psm, finding it reasonable based on the tone of the list and comparable properties. The tribunal determined a final RV of £133,000.
