What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property's rateable value should be reduced to £12,500 based on open market lease evidence at that rental level and locational disadvantages including poor access and visibility. The tribunal found the rental evidence from two open market leases (2013 and 2015) to be reliable primary evidence in line with Lotus and Delta v Culverwell, and attached little weight to the respondent's comparables which were not comparable. The appeal was allowed and the rateable value reduced accordingly.
