What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (NCP Limited) argued the RV should be £2.1m based on 35% of gross receipts of £6m, referring to the 2010 rating list methodology. The tribunal found that 49% of fair maintainable trade (£6.447m) represented a reasonable rental bid, supported by comparable evidence from the St Chads car park in Birmingham which showed 47% of receipts, and confirmed the RV at £3.21m as the property had high usage and excellent performance near Birmingham Airport.
