What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (a health clinic) challenged the rateable value of £104,000, arguing for £83,000 based on a zone A rate of £575/m² and a 10% shape allowance for the property's high width/depth ratio. The Valuation Officer defended £104,000 based on a zone A rate of £650/m². The tribunal found that while the VO's zone A rate of £650/m² was excessive, the appellant's proposed 10% shape allowance lacked sufficient evidence. The tribunal adopted a zone A rate of £575/m² based on comparable rental evidence from 18-22 Vanston Place and the passing rent, determining the RV at £92,500.
