What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a warehouse on Abbey Mead Industrial Estate, arguing for a reduced main space price of £72.50/m² (£27,500 RV) rather than the VO's £80.00/m² (£30,250 RV). The tribunal found that the passing rent of £48,000 pa (£79.49/m²), combined with comparable evidence from Unit 1 at the same estate, supported the existing valuation and dismissed the appeal.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Orange Music Electronic Company Ltd, represented.
