What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable value of £29,750 (£27.50/m²) for hard surfaced fenced storage land was excessive and proposed £22,500 (£15/m²). The tribunal found that the most compelling evidence was a comparable property (4 Rubastic Road) which had originally been valued at £27.50/m² but was agreed at £22.50/m² on challenge. The tribunal rejected the Valuation Officer's rental evidence as either from connected parties, in a distribution park, or post-valuation date. It determined that £22.50/m² was fair and reasonable, resulting in an RV of £27,000.
