What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (through GL Hearn) argued that the rateable value of £58,500 (reduced by the VO to £55,500 at £575/m² ITZA) was excessive and should be reduced to £49,000 (£500/m² ITZA), contending the property was isolated and masked by an adjacent casino with reduced footfall. The tribunal found that the property occupied a prominent corner junction with full glass frontage benefiting from footfall from both roads, and that rental evidence including an interim rent of £55,000 (£571/m²) agreed near the AVD, supported the adopted rate of £575/m² as reasonable. The appeal was dismissed and the RV remained at £55,500.
