What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £41,000, arguing the subject property was incorrectly placed in the restaurant scheme at £220/m² and should instead be valued as a railway arch property at £100/m² plus 30% uplift for restaurant use. The tribunal found the VO's comparable properties were distant and different in use, while the appellant's comparables (338 Railway Arch, 337 Railway Arch, and 322-324 Railway Arch) were in close proximity with identical characteristics, supporting the lower rate. The tribunal allowed the appeal and confirmed the RV at £24,000 from 1 April 2018.
