What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £39,250 to £33,250, arguing for a Zone A rate of £335psm instead of £375psm, supported by rental evidence showing declining rents. The tribunal found that £375psm was fair and reasonable based on a basket of evidence, including two 2014 rents at Towngate locations supporting this value and 15 comparable properties all valued at £375psm with no prior challenges. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part only to the extent of applying the 5% quantum allowance conceded by the Valuation Officer, reducing the RV to £37,250.
