What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £136,000 to £105,000 for hard surfaced land, arguing it should be valued at £15 per m² rather than £20 per m². The tribunal found that proximity to Heathrow Airport was determinative in valuing such land and that comparable properties in Colnbrook, particularly Unit 10 Poyle Road and George Lines, supported the £20 per m² rate. The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof that the RV was unreasonable.
