What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in RV from £80,000 to £65,500 (£30/m2) for a workshop at Hawksworth Trading Estate, arguing that comparable properties on the same estate supported this lower tone. The tribunal found that the appellant's comparable evidence did not demonstrate the valuation scheme had been applied inconsistently; properties of similar size and age in the wider locality supported the existing £35/m2 rate, and the appellant failed to produce sufficient evidence to justify the reduction.
