What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £29,750, arguing for a revised assessment of £25,250 based on comparable properties and a unit rate of £76.50/m². The tribunal found that the valuation officer's comparable properties, particularly Unit 2 Poole Trade Park, established a tone of £90/m² for similar industrial units. The tribunal concluded that the appellant had not demonstrated the existing assessment was unreasonable and confirmed the original RV of £29,750.
