What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £107,000 on the basis that the unadjusted base rate of £20/m² was excessive, arguing the property was inferior to comparable properties and proposing a reduction to £12.50/m². The tribunal found that the appellant had failed to produce significant evidence to justify the lower base rate. Relying on comparable properties within the same valuation scheme, particularly Jelson Ltd which had a similar size and the same £20/m² rate, the tribunal determined that the established tone of the list at £20.00/m² was correct and dismissed the appeal.
