What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £95,500 to £56,500 based on contentions about service charges and reliance on a settlement of another club at £90/m². The tribunal found the rental evidence from The Cookie Club (£136.69/m²) more compelling and preferred the Valuation Officer's comparable rental evidence approach. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, accepting the Valuation Officer's conceded reduction to £81,000 (£120/m²) as fair and reasonable, finding the appeal property's superior location justified a higher valuation than the comparable club cited by the appellant.
