What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rating assessment of a ground floor gym and premises. The Valuation Officer confirmed during the hearing that the mode and category of occupation had been incorrectly classified as "office and premises" rather than "gym and premises". The parties agreed a revised rateable value of £26,250 based on a price of £80 per m2 with effect from 1 April 2017, which the tribunal ratified.
