What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the property should be valued according to its mode and category of occupation as a dance school, not as a retail warehouse. The tribunal found that while the property was physically capable of being returned to retail use with only minor alterations (removal of sprung floor and partition walls), the rental evidence demonstrated a clear decline in the retail market at the area with rents falling from £44,000 to £12,996 pa. The tribunal accepted the appellant's valuation of £24,500 RV (£122/m2) based on the declining rental market evidence, rather than the original £43,750 RV (£220/m2).
