What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (a charity) sought a rateable value of £83,250 based on an overall valuation method and a zone A rate of £375/m², arguing the property's location on Long Row, irregular shape, and varying floor levels justified a lower assessment. The tribunal found that whilst the appellant's rental analysis was considered, the available rental evidence from comparable properties and the established trend of zone A rates on Long Row (higher for properties closer to Old Market Square) supported the Valuation Officer's zone A rate of £620/m² (reduced to £488.25/m² with adjustments). The tribunal determined the property's prominent location, better than the comparables cited, justified maintaining the assessment at £112,000 RV, and dismissed the appeal.
