What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £41,500 to £31,750 RV, arguing for a rate of £60/m2 with a 10% access allowance, citing poor access restrictions and citing one comparable property. The tribunal found that the VO's comparable properties (12 and 28 Bilton Way with rents close to the AVD analysing to £72.99/m2 and £82.84/m2 respectively) provided very good supporting evidence for the appeal property rate of £71.49/m2, and found no justification for an access allowance greater than 5%. The tribunal therefore upheld the revised RV of £40,000 as reasonable.
