What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant proposed valuing the subject property using the receipts and expenditure method, arguing that its hybrid nature as a hotel, restaurant, and bar with events venue meant it should not be assessed as a public house. The tribunal accepted that although the property was a hybrid mixture of three trades, it could be correctly valued using the Fair Maintainable Trade method applicable to public houses, as the Guide provided capacity to cover such properties. The tribunal found that the hotel element was not the thriving part of the business and dismissed the appeal, upholding the reduced rateable value of £105,000.
