What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list assessment of £74,500 RV, arguing for a reduction to £50,500 RV based on alleged inferior position on the promenade, poor lighting, no car parking, stanchions, and removal of allowances from the 2010 list. The tribunal found that the £115/m² main space price was reasonable given the property's size and location, dismissed claims about lighting and stanchions as typical features not requiring separate allowances, and noted the appellant had failed to produce sufficient evidence to substantiate their claims. The appeal was dismissed with the RV remaining at £74,500.
