What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value should be reduced to £173,000 due to excessive prices applied to various aged buildings on the site, and sought a 10% allowance for layout, split site, access, residential proximity, mixed ages, drainage issues, and proximity to sewage works. The Valuation Officer contended that the £250,000 RV was correct, reflected the ages and conditions of buildings, and included appropriate 7.5% allowance. The tribunal found the prices applied were not excessive compared to rental evidence and comparable assessments within the scheme, and that the existing 7.5% allowance was sufficient to reflect layout and split-site issues, dismissing the appeal.
