What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rating assessments were not in line with comparable properties and that the base price had increased excessively (45% between the 2010 and 2017 lists) compared to similar aged units. The tribunal found that the rental and comparable property evidence supported the adopted value of £80/m², and rejected comparisons between rating lists as unhelpful. The appellant failed to produce sufficient evidence to justify the claimed reduction.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was White Ellerton Products Ltd, represented.
