What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the original assessment of £70.00/m² was excessive, initially seeking £52.50/m² but later revising to £60.00/m². The tribunal considered rental evidence from the appeal property (passing rent of £66.74/m²) and comparable properties, along with assessment evidence from similar large industrial units. The tribunal found that comparable larger properties in Barking supported a lower tone and was satisfied that £65.00/m² was appropriate, falling within the existing valuation scheme. The appeal was allowed in part, with the rateable value reduced from £1,200,000 to £1,130,000 effective from 1 April 2017.
