From the tribunal's valuation
We do not think resolution of the dispute as to the walking distance to amenities assists our determination. … It would be artificial in the circumstances of this property to isolate out individual items which would reduce the rent appropriate for the property in its current condition and ascribe individual percentage reductions to them. We think it more appropriate to take an overall, global approach. … We conclude that the rent should be reduced by 50% to reflect its current condition, if it were to be marketed in its current state, as indicated in our account of the inspection, above. … That gives a figure of £800 on a per calendar month basis. Converting that into a weekly sum using the methodology used by the landlord gives a figure of £ 184.61 per week.
