What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable values of two adjacent units of rough surfaced land, arguing that the unadjusted rate of £8.73-£8.85 per m² was excessive. The appellant relied primarily on the actual rents passing on the subject properties (£6.04-£7.07 per m²) and comparable lettings, proposing an unadjusted rate of £6.50 per m². The tribunal, applying the Lotus and Delta principles, accepted that while the subject rents were agreed after the antecedent valuation date, they provided a reasonable starting point. Considering the properties' disadvantages (poor access, lack of services, rough surface, location outside the Enterprise Zone) and the basket of rental evidence, the tribunal found that the unadjusted rate of £6.50 per m² was reasonable and allowed the appeals.
