What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the subject property should be assessed with a 6% end allowance for width to depth ratio and a 5% end allowance for layout issues from the merger of two retail units. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, accepting that a 6% end allowance for the width to depth ratio was justified by reference to comparable properties with similar ratios. The tribunal also applied a 5% line adjustment (rather than a full end allowance) to the first floor to reflect the disadvantaged fragmented layout, as the ground floor was not found to be significantly disadvantaged. The tribunal determined revised rateable values of £120,000 for both the 2017 rating date and the 2018 effective date when air conditioning was added.
