What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the rateable value of £118,000 (at £80/m2) was excessive for a children's playcentre and sought reduction to £75,000 (at £47.50/m2), citing comparable warehouse and smaller play centre assessments on the same estate. The tribunal found the rental evidence for the subject property, agreed before the extensive fit-out at £69.29/m2, to be persuasive and noted that the property had been fitted out far beyond a regular warehouse standard. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding insufficient evidence that the current assessment was unreasonable.
