What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £337,500 to £272,000 based on a £20/m² base rate, arguing that a 25% quantum allowance should be applied to reflect the property's large size (13,387.02m²), as had been applied to comparable properties Units 1 and 4 at Provincial Park. The tribunal found that the appellant had not discharged the burden of proof, noting that no rental evidence was provided to demonstrate whether quantum allowances had been applied to the comparables, and that the VO's evidence of six comparable warehouses with base rates of £32-£42/m² supported the adopted £25/m² base rate. The appeal was dismissed and the RV was confirmed at £337,500.
