What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable values of split and merged assessments at 110 Old Brompton Road, contending they were excessive and proposing a uniform rate of £400 per m² based on comparable rental evidence. The tribunal examined rental transactions and assessed comparables in the locality, particularly 34 Sumner Place (also a Grade 2 listed building). After allowing late evidence showing 34 Sumner Place was Grade 2 listed and therefore comparable, the tribunal determined a uniform unadjusted rate of £425 per m² was reasonable, allowing the appeals in part as this was higher than the appellant sought but lower than the original valuations.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was SRO Motorsports Europe Limited, represented.
