What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the merged four-unit warehouse should have a 5% end allowance for layout disadvantage due to solid internal dividing walls and limited interconnectivity requiring external movement of goods and personnel. The tribunal accepted that the physical layout created an operational disadvantage compared to conventional open-plan units, and found the appellant's proposed comparable property (Units K1-K2 at Lyntown Trading Estate) demonstrated market recognition of layout disadvantages. The appeal was allowed and the RV reduced from £121,000 to £115,000 by applying the 5% allowance.
