What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, an art gallery operator, challenged the 2017 rating list entry of £106,000 RV, proposing £80,500 RV. The Valuation Officer conceded to £101,000 RV but the appellant appealed, arguing for a lower main space rate and restoration of an 8.5% layout/access allowance. The tribunal found the main space rate of £1,250/m² excessive and adopted £1,175/m² based on rental evidence from the appeal property and a comparable on Ryder Street both renewed in May 2015. The tribunal also reinstated the 8.5% allowance for the lack of internal interconnection between the two ground floor units, which had been applied in previous rating lists with no physical change to the property. The appeal was allowed with the assessment reduced to £92,000 RV.
