What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction of the main space rate from £1,625/m² to £850/m² relying on comparable assessments of restaurants in the area, many valued at lower rates. The tribunal examined rental evidence, comparable property assessments, and the subject property's prominent location and high fit-out costs. The tribunal found the existing assessment of £650,000 RV at £1,625/m² was reasonable, noting that comparable restaurants on Westbourne Grove were valued at £1,700/m² and £1,200/m², and that the subject property's unique size and superior corner location justified the adopted rate.
