What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £480,000 to £430,000, contending that the hard surfaced land measurement should be 27,335m² rather than the VO's figure of 34,047.05m². The appellant argued that the warehouse had been valued as part of a scheme including parking/circulation space that could not be used for storage. The tribunal rejected this argument, finding that the subject property was primarily storage land with ancillary warehouse, and that similar assessments naturally include space for parking and circulation. The appellant had not discharged their burden of proof to show the RV was unreasonable.
