What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £420,000 to £365,500 by reducing the tone of value for main space from £32.50 per m2 to £28 per m2, arguing the original valuation was unreasonable. The tribunal found that whilst comparable assessments at Hortonwood and particularly at Stafford Park (similar size, close proximity) demonstrated lower tone values, and that quantum was a significant factor in larger industrial properties, the appellant's proposed rate of £28 per m2 would be unreasonable. The tribunal determined a tone of £29 per m2 was fair, resulting in an RV of £378,000, allowing the appeal in part.
