What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the property should be revalued as a hairdressing salon and training centre (30% retail, 70% training use), seeking a reduction from £31,500 RV. The Valuation Officer contended the property should be valued as a retail unit, the inherent character and nature being retail notwithstanding the appellant's current training use. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the property should continue to be valued as retail premises on the basis that a hypothetical tenant would not bid differently for the property despite its current mixed use, and the comparable rental evidence supported a zone A price of £340/m2.
