What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that rental evidence in the locality supported a reduction in the rateable value from £35 per m² to £30 per m², relying on comparable properties in Wath upon Dearne. The tribunal rejected the comparison with Wath upon Dearne as the localities were not directly comparable and found that the rental evidence from Factory 6 Fields End Business Park and Unit 18A Commercial Road, combined with tone of the list evidence from the Goldthorpe Industrial Estate, supported the Valuation Officer's unadjusted main space price of £35 per m² as reasonable.
