What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value on the ground that the price per m² adopted in the valuation was excessive. The tribunal found that by reference to comparable industrial properties of similar size (Units 7 & 8 Platt Fold Street and Units 3 & 4 Platt Fold Street) valued at £38.50 per m², the adopted rate of £41.50 per m² was unreasonable. The tribunal allowed the appeal and reduced the RV from £21,750 to £20,000 based on an unadjusted rate of £38.50 per m².
