What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value was too high, relying on rental evidence from nearby properties and contending that the VO's comparable properties were not truly comparable. The tribunal found that the appellant's proposed rate of £370/m² was too low, but accepted that the original £470/m² was too high. The tribunal determined the zone A rate should be £401/m², derived from analysing the 2016 rent of the appeal property itself, as this reasonably reflected the property's location between the main shopping area and residential zone with reduced footfall.
