What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the RV of £40,750 (later £37,000) for a dental surgery premises, arguing it should be valued as a surgery rather than a shop and proposing £29,000 based on a rate of £382.50/m2 derived from dental surgery comparables. The tribunal found that when considered vacant and to let, the property's inherent character was that of a retail unit within a parade of shops, not a dental surgery. The internal reconfiguration could easily be undone with minimal work, and comparable shop rental evidence supported the VO's £525/m2 zone A rate. The appeals were dismissed.
