What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of a restaurant unit in New Street Station, Birmingham, arguing the tone of value should be £765/m² (RV £157,000) based on the property's actual rent and limited comparable evidence. The tribunal found that a settled tone of £1,000/m² had been established through multiple settlement agreements at the station, supported by comparable units including Unit 25 (£1,000/m²) and Unit 21/22 (£925/m²), and dismissed the appeal maintaining the RV at £197,000.
