What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £56,000 (at £110/m²) to £9,250 (at £12/m²) to reflect a change of use to storage following planning permission granted in April 2020. The tribunal found that the planning permission retained D1 (veterinary surgery) use alongside storage use, the property remained fitted out as a surgery with no alterations, and comparable evidence from other surgeries in the same valuation scheme supported the £110/m² rate. The appellant's comparable properties (older buildings used differently) were of little assistance. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to produce sufficient evidence to justify a reduction.
