What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants contended that the rateable values should be based on a main space rate of £70 per m2, but the Valuation Officer argued for £85.00 per m2. The tribunal examined rental evidence for the appeal hereditaments and comparable retail warehouses in the wider Bristol area, which ranged from £95.00 to £150.00 per m2. The tribunal found that at £85.00 per m2, the appeal hereditaments had not been overvalued and were reasonable, as this rate was beneath the comparable range, and dismissed the appeals.
