What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £18,000 (£500/m2) for the shop premises, proposing a reduction to £13,500 (£375/m2) based on comparison with a nearby property at 84 High Street. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant had not demonstrated the property was in a less valuable location; the property's actual rent of £19,000 (2016) supported the higher valuation, and comparable properties immediately adjacent had all been valued at £500/m2.
