What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant disputed the Valuation Officer's 72% uplift to the industrial tone for showroom quality and the alternative valuation as a tyre and exhaust centre at £85 per m². The tribunal found that the appeal property's location close to the A56 did not warrant a premium valuation, as it did not front the A56 and had significantly lower traffic than comparable properties cited by the Valuation Officer. The tribunal determined an industrial assessment with a 10% uplift to the base price of £43.50 per m² was fair and reasonable, resulting in revised RVs of £120,000 (from 1 April 2017) and £102,000 (from 8 July 2019).
