What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the rateable value should be reduced from £168,000 to £154,000 based on a tone of £110/m² rather than £120/m², arguing that the subject property's larger size compared to Unit 3 should attract a quantum allowance, and pointing to historical reductions between rating lists. The tribunal found a tone of £120/m² had been established for comparable units of similar size on the same retail park, and accepted the Valuation Officer's comparable evidence. The tribunal dismissed the appeal as the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proving a lower tone should be applied.
