What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a hairdressing business, argued that the rateable value of £26,750 (£300/m2) was excessive and sought a reduction to £20,000 (£225/m2), contending the property was in a sub-prime location and over-assessed compared to rental evidence from 2016. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's comparable properties from Queens Road and Alexandra Road, particularly 21 Alexandra Road at £280/m2 from February 2015 near the AVD, persuasive evidence supporting the £300/m2 base rate, and dismissed the appeal as the appellant had not provided sufficient alternative rental evidence to satisfy the burden of proof that the assessment was unreasonable.
