What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a company occupying a modern headquarters office building, challenged the rateable value of £201,000, proposing £189,000, arguing that car parking value should be reflected in the office tone rather than as a separate line entry. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's office tone of £125 per m² was reasonable, being based on comparable headquarter office buildings where car parking values had been stripped out before rental analysis. The tribunal dismissed the appeal as the office assessment was not unreasonable and appropriately reflected car parking as a separate valuation element.
