What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, operating Leo's Play Den, sought a reduction from £36,750 RV to £21,600 RV following a split of the original combined hereditament with an adjacent bingo hall. The appellant argued the assessments post-split were unreasonably high and sought a 60/40 split of the original combined £54,000 RV. The tribunal found that the £80/m2 derived from the January 2017 rent review did not show the £50/m2 applied in the assessment to be excessive, and comparable properties' assessments supported unit prices of £50-£75/m2. The appeal was dismissed.
