What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction of the rateable value from £29,250 to £27,000, arguing that the base rate of £48.50 per m² was excessive and should be reduced to £43.50 per m² based on comparable rental evidence in the locality. The tribunal found that the weight of comparable rental evidence, particularly properties with lease dates closer to the antecedent valuation date and similar characteristics, supported the Valuation Officer's base rate of £48.50 per m² and the 10% allowance for poor access. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to demonstrate that a lower rateable value was warranted.
