What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of the rural restaurant on the ground that the unit price per square metre of £110/m2 was excessive. The tribunal accepted that the property was over-assessed by reference to comparable restaurant properties in the area, particularly given its location difficulties, limited car parking and position on a sharp bend. The tribunal determined a unit price of £100/m2 was reasonable, resulting in a rateable value of £20,000.
