What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £96,500 (£315/m²) to £72,000 (£290/m²) for the KFC restaurant at Turnells Mill Lane, Wellingborough, relying primarily on comparable rental evidence from a McDonald's property at 45 London Road. The tribunal found that the subject property's own passing rent of £90,000 per annum (reviewed in 2014), the Valuation Officer's comparable assessment evidence, and the appeal property's superior location at a busy road junction with no immediate competitors, all supported a main space price of £315/m². The appeal was dismissed and the assessment was confirmed at £82,500.
