What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a retail food company, sought a reduction of the rateable value from £44,500 (unadjusted rate £650/m2) to £40,500 (unadjusted rate £590/m2) based on rental evidence from the property and comparable units within the shopping centre. The tribunal found that rental evidence from Units 4, 28, 26 and 9, which were closer to the antecedent valuation date, provided strong support for the adopted rate of £650/m2, particularly Unit 4 which analysed just below this rate. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant had not discharged the burden of proving the valuation was excessive.
