What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a civil engineering company, argued the rateable value should be reduced to £8,000 based on comparable properties and quantum allowance principles for smaller businesses. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's assessment of £13,750 (£14/m² for unsurfaced, unfenced land) fair and reasonable, placing great weight on comparable rental evidence from 73 Westmoor Street (£22/m² for surfaced, fenced land) and rejecting the appellant's argument about quantum allowance discrimination against small businesses.
