What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction of the rateable value from £350,000 to £305,000, arguing that the unadjusted main space rate of £40.00/m² was excessive and that a 12.5% layout allowance was warranted. The Valuation Officer contended that £40.00/m² (adjusted to £35.10/m²) was reasonable and that no layout allowance was justified. The tribunal found that greater weight should be given to rental evidence from comparable properties in Thame and Didcot (analysing to £41.00-£49.70/m²) than to the movement between 2010 and 2017 list assessments, and concluded that the appellant had failed to produce sufficient evidence to justify the claimed reduction or layout allowance.
