What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £75,500, seeking reduction to £68,500 based on an excessive unadjusted rate of £45 per m2 and claiming a 5% (later 2.5%) allowance for a large dividing wall disadvantage. The tribunal found that £45 per m2 was not excessive when viewed against comparable evidence from other properties on the same industrial estate with similar characteristics. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part by accepting a 2.5% allowance for the inconvenience caused by the dividing wall, reducing the rateable value to £73,500.
