What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the subject betting shop should be valued on an overall basis at £200 per m² rather than on a zoned basis at £1,000 per m² Zone A, arguing its irregular shape with limited frontage and entrance lobby made zoning inappropriate. The tribunal accepted the zoning method was appropriate for properties in the parade, but allowed the appeal in part to reflect the valuation officer's concession that the entrance and corridor area justified a 50% adjustment within Zone A, reducing the RV from £45,750 to £39,000.
