What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £54,000 for a restaurant with residential living accommodation, seeking reduction to £34,500 based on adjusted rental evidence and comparable properties. The tribunal found the subject rent unreliable due to substantial adjustments required for living accommodation, extension costs, and goodwill/fixtures valuations, with insufficient supporting evidence. The tribunal examined comparable restaurant rents and concluded that the adopted main space price of £140 per square metre was not unreasonable, dismissing the appeal and confirming the existing valuation.
