What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the assessment of a day nursery at £130/m² rateable value, arguing it should be reduced to £120/m² by excluding car parking spaces and removing an air-conditioning uplift applied to non-air-conditioned areas. The tribunal found the subject property's open market rent of £50,000 (1 September 2016) supported the £130/m² unit area rate, but accepted the appellant's evidence that kitchen, toilets and internal storage areas were not air-conditioned and should not bear the 5% uplift, resulting in a reduction to £37,500.
