What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable values of a vehicle repair workshop, arguing that car parking should not be separately assessed. The tribunal accepted the appellant's evidence that comparable properties in the same valuation scheme did not separately value car parking, and found that the valuation officer's comparable evidence was weak. The tribunal determined that despite the property having substantial parking provision, this was already reflected in the building value and should not be separately assessed, allowing the appeal and reducing the rateable value to £138,000 from 1 April 2017.
