What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (Costa Limited) challenged the rateable value of a drive-thru coffee outlet entered at £74,500 (£425/m²), seeking reduction to £57,000 (£325/m²). The tribunal found the appellant's evidence and arguments more persuasive, particularly the comparable settled assessment at a similar Costa drive-thru at Lakeside, Doncaster valued at £350/m², and determined that £350/m² was fair and reasonable, resulting in an RV of £61,500.
