What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £31,250 to £27,250 (reflecting a zone A rate of £250/m² instead of £275/m²) and to restore a 5% end allowance for shape that had been removed from the 2017 list. The tribunal found that the zone A rate of £275/m² was not excessive based on the rent passing on the subject property (£290.53/m² just 15 months before the valuation date) and a basket of comparable rents, and that the passing rent already factored in the property's shape, so no end allowance was warranted.
