What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the appeal property, a converted day nursery in Shirehampton, fell within type 2 nursery classification and should be assessed at £100/m2, not type 1 at £150/m2. The tribunal found the property did not meet type 1 criteria due to its converted nature, non-prime location, and limited public transport links, and agreed with five comparable type 2 properties in the same scheme valued at £100/m2. The appeal was allowed and the assessment reduced from £61,500 to £41,250 RV.
