What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of two blister hanger buildings at Bournemouth Airport, arguing they were overvalued at £65/m² and £57.50/m² respectively. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable properties (Buildings 430 and 435) more persuasive as they were identical arched blister hangers in the same location, with rents analysed at £34-£38/m². The tribunal applied a uniform rate of £34/m² to both subject properties, finding this reflected their poor construction, arched shape, limited useable space, and landside location, reducing Building 397 to £38,750 RV and Building 399 to £44,250 RV.
