Nazar v Pendle Borough Council [2007] EWLands ACQ_2_2007 (30 August 2007)

The Tribunal preferred the acquiring authority's evidence, finding that the claimant's comparables were in superior locations and not directly comparable. The appropriate valuation methodology was an investment approach using a rental value of £5,000 per annum and an 11% yield, resulting in a value of £45,450. No disturbance compensation was awarded as there was no business in operation at the valuation date and no evidence supported the claims for stock, fixtures, or time.
