What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the rateable value should be reduced to £29,500 based on a zone A price of £600/m², citing comparable properties in the same parade and seeking a temporary 40% allowance for tram and road works. The tribunal rejected both arguments, finding the VO's zone A price of £700/m² reasonable based on the subject property's actual rent analysis and the neighbouring property valuation, and confirming a temporary allowance of 7.5% (not 40%) was appropriate for the works, ending 8 May 2022.
