What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a 10% layout allowance for restricted usable space due to eaves, sloped walls, and structural beams limiting desk placement and creating safety hazards. The tribunal found that while the multiple columns and beams did restrict usable space, only one beam presented a clear specific issue, and the appellant's comparable properties were much larger and involved different circumstances (multi-floor interconnected buildings or different floor levels). The tribunal allowed a 2.5% layout allowance as reasonable, reducing the RV from £38,000 to £37,000.
