What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the RV of £14,500 was excessive, proposing £7,500 based on the passing rent at the antecedent valuation date of £14,250 (rather than the higher rent of £15,250 used by the VO) and comparisons with similar roundabout sites. The tribunal found that the rent on the appeal property at Filey appeared high compared to the more valuable Scarborough location, and that the increase from £7,500 in the 2010 list to £14,500 in the 2017 list was excessive. The tribunal determined a fair and reasonable RV of £12,500.
