What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £327,500 to £280,000, arguing for various allowances and a reduction in the main space price from £60/m² to £50/m². The tribunal found that the appellant had failed to provide sufficient evidence to support most contentions, and rejected arguments about air conditioning deductions, mains drainage allowances, and rough land valuations. The tribunal found that comparable rental evidence of £50.36-£79.84/m² supported the £60/m² valuation and dismissed the appeal.
