What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of an industrial warehouse, arguing for a reduction from £185,000 to £115,000 based on contentions about mezzanine office space, lack of natural light, quantum allowances, and layout/fragmentation issues. The tribunal found that comparable rental evidence (Duni Ltd at £20/m2) supported the £185,000 valuation, that quantum reductions must be proven by rental evidence, and that the properties cited as comparables were not sufficiently similar. The appeal was dismissed.
