What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £88,500 (reduced to £87,500 by the VO after removal of an outdoor seating area) on the basis that the zone A price of £780 per m² was excessive, proposing instead £550 per m². The tribunal accepted the zone A rate of £780 per m² was reasonable based on comparable rental evidence from adjacent units, but found that the property's unusually jagged shape and layout warranted a reduction. The tribunal applied a 9% allowance for this disability rather than the 20% sought by the appellant, resulting in a revised RV of £79,500.
