What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction of the rateable value from £30,500 to £24,750 (at £89.25/m2) arguing the property should be valued in line with comparable properties Brook House and Norec House based on a 2005 tribunal decision. The tribunal found the rental evidence for Great Cliffe Court itself supported a value above £105/m2, and rejected reliance on the 2005 comparables as they lacked the exclusivity of the office park location and were not sufficiently comparable given that rental evidence was now available at or near the AVD.
