What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £47,000 to £36,000 based on rental evidence and comparable properties of similar age, arguing the rate per m2 should be £18 rather than £23.50. The tribunal applied greater weight to rental evidence from Units 15-17 Shakespeare Road (very similar age, size and location, within one mile) which supported the adopted rate of £23.50/m2, and found that comparable older properties cited by the appellant were located outside industrial estates and in different areas of Rotherham, making them less comparable. The appeal was dismissed as the current assessment was not unreasonable.
