What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant proposed the public house be valued as a restaurant bar using retail zoned valuation with a zone A rate of £800/m2 and a 5% end allowance. The tribunal found the property was clearly a public house based on planning documents, pub licence, marketing materials, and trading data showing 70% wet goods to 30% dry goods sales. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant failed to provide evidence supporting a higher valuation and the mode or category of occupation must remain as a public house.
