What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a mineral processing plant operator, challenged the Valuation Officer's assessments arguing the building replacement costs and land valuations were excessive. The Tribunal determined that actual building costs from building 22 (£235/m²) should be adopted instead of VOA Cost Guide figures, and that the site rent approach of £17,500 should apply to value the land as a specialist mineral processing plant consistent with other similar properties in its class. The appeals succeeded in part, reducing the assessments from £116,000 and £146,000 to £106,000 and £127,000 respectively.
