What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a vehicle repair workshop operator, challenged the rateable value proposing £42,500 based on £55 per m², citing comparable workshop properties and rental analysis. The tribunal considered the subject property's actual rent history, comparable properties evidence including properties valued at £72.50-£90 per m², and the valuation officer's revised assessment of £82 per m². The tribunal found that the weight of evidence did not support a reduction to the appellant's proposed figure and dismissed the appeal, confirming the rateable value at £64,000.
