What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list entry of £15,250 RV (based on £100/m2) for a convenience store in Stock, Essex with no exclusive car parking. The appellant proposed £12,000 RV (£80/m2). The Tribunal found that the Valuation Officer's comparable properties were over 15 miles away in better-located areas with better parking and higher population density, while the appellant's comparables (closer properties in better locations with £75-85/m2 rates) provided compelling evidence. The Tribunal adopted £80/m2 as fair and reasonable, reducing the RV to £12,000.
