What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a material change in local circumstances—closure of four feeder pubs and opening of competing restaurants—had caused a detrimental impact on the restaurant's rental value, supporting a 50% reduction. The tribunal found insufficient evidence to support the reduction, noting that revenue showed little decline immediately after the first pub closures in January 2011, and that rating valuation concerns the property's rental value rather than the business's trading performance.
