What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the rateable value of the factory should be £285,000 based on rental evidence from comparable properties and tone of the list, contending the subject property had been placed in the wrong scheme and was significantly higher than comparable properties of similar size. The tribunal accepted that comparable properties of similar size supported a base rate of £80/m² rather than the £82/m² originally assessed, but found the appellant's proposed £75/m² was too low. The tribunal determined a rateable value of £300,000 at £80/m², allowing the appeal in part.
