What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £159,000 to £143,000 (£67.50/m² to £75.00/m²) based on rental evidence showing a lease at £164,679 per annum (£71.53/m² adjusted) and arguing that comparable properties in the scheme had been valued lower. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's comparable evidence, particularly Unit 1 Horizon Point (£75.61/m² net), more persuasive and rejected the appellant's argument regarding economic growth adjustment. The appeal was dismissed with the original valuation confirmed.
