What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rating assessment of a double ground floor retail unit on Hamlets Way, London, arguing for a lower zone A rate and proposing £10,750 RV. The tribunal found the rental evidence provided by the Valuation Officer, particularly a comparable letting at 57 Burdett Road at £341/m2 on the AVD of 1 April 2015, to be the most compelling evidence. The tribunal concluded that the adopted zone A rate of £320/m2 fairly reflected the appeal property's less prominent location compared to Burdett Road, and therefore confirmed the assessment of £15,250 RV.
