What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable values of three digital advertising right hereditaments, proposing £31,000 (later £32,000) and £62,500 respectively against the VO's £52,000, £52,000 and £82,500. The tribunal found the original valuations too high based on rental evidence (£30,000-£60,000 base rents from September 2017) and the agreed comparable of J C Decaux at £25,000 per 96-sheet face. The tribunal adopted a base unit value of £35,000 per display, resulting in revised rateable values of £37,000 for hereditaments 1-2 and £72,500 for hereditament 3.
