What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that a 240m² section of the 621.9m² showroom should be reclassified as internal storage at a lower tone of £50m², and that franchise withdrawals and Citroen signage restrictions reduced the property's value. The tribunal found no evidence supporting the £50m² figure and that the functional arrangements and signage were immaterial to the statutory valuation. The tribunal accepted the VO's proposed RV of £79,000, noting this represented a reasonable mid-point between comparable properties and that the VO had already made a reduction to address the property's disadvantages.
