What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a motorcycle retailer, sought a reduction in rateable value from £63,500 to £37,750 (£85/m² to £145/m²), arguing the assessment was inconsistent with comparable units in Queens Court that had been reduced to £85/m² and £95/m². The tribunal found that direct rental evidence from 2013 (£70,000 per annum) supported £145/m², and that the smaller size of the appeal property (438.37m²) compared to comparable units (741.14m² and 791.10m²) justified a higher price per m². The tribunal rejected the appellant's comparison argument and confirmed the original assessment.
