What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (GK Coffee Ltd operating as Starbucks) challenged the RV of £65,500 at a base rate of £850/m², proposing £56,000 at £725/m². The tribunal accepted the appellant's analysis of the actual rent agreed on the property in October 2016 (£65,000 p.a., analysing to £725/m²) and found supporting evidence from three open market lettings of comparable properties on High Road, all analysing below £850/m². The tribunal, applying the Lotus and Delta principles, found the rental evidence more persuasive than the VO's settlement evidence and allowed the appeal.
