What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that three digital advertising rights were overvalued at £52,000 and £82,500 respectively, proposing reductions to £31,000 and £62,500. The tribunal found the valuations too high based on rental evidence showing base rents of £30,000 and £60,000, and an agreed comparable at J C Decaux valued at £25,000 per 96 sheet face. The tribunal adopted a base unit value of £35,000 per display, resulting in rateable values of £37,000 for the first two properties and £72,500 for the third.
