What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the zone A rate for both subject properties should be reduced from £2,800/m² to £2,300/m². They contended that rental evidence on the same street supported this lower rate. The tribunal, applying the principles in Lotus and Delta v Culverwell, found that the rental evidence on comparable properties in Little Newport Street consistently supported the existing zone A rate of £2,800/m² and that the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to overturn the original assessments. The appeals were dismissed.
