What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a Domino's Pizza shop, arguing for a Zone A price of £114 per m2 based on the subject rent of £8,500 per annum and comparable evidence from neighbouring and similar properties. The Valuation Officer had reduced the value to £13,000 (£175 per m2) based primarily on one rental comparable at 37-41 Bradford Road. The tribunal found that the Valuation Officer's reliance on a single comparable was insufficient and accepted Ms Heaton's evidence that comparable properties within the scheme supported a lower price. The tribunal adopted a Zone A price of £145 per m2, allowing the appeal in part and determining a revised RV of £10,750.
