What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a rateable value of £28,500 based on a zone A rate of £200/m², arguing the property should be valued the same as other Gage Street properties and contending that comparable properties were more reliable than the property's own rent from 2009. The tribunal found the appeal property's corner location at the junction of Gage Street and Great John Street, close to Dalton Square, made it more valuable than other Gage Street properties but less valuable than Dalton Square properties. The tribunal adopted a main space price of £215/m² to reflect this intermediate positioning, resulting in an RV of £30,750.
