What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property should be valued as a day nursery at £125/m² overall (£24,200 RV), contending that the shop valuation was excessive and the rent had been above market value when agreed in 2016. The tribunal found that the property, despite its current use as a nursery, could be returned to shop use with minimal alteration and no planning barriers, and that the rent of £36,000 pa (partial premises) in August 2016 supported the valuation as a shop. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and upheld the RV of £37,000 based on a shop tone of £285/m² ITZA, as the appellant failed to produce sufficient comparable evidence to justify the day nursery valuation.
