What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the Zone A rate should be reduced from £450 to £350 per m2 due to the property's peripheral position in Parliament Row and material changes including bus station relocation and closure of BHS anchor store. The tribunal found that the comparable rental evidence supported the £450 per m2 rate and that the property's prominent return frontage justified this valuation. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant had not proven the burden of proof against the current assessment.
