What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a car showroom operator, sought to reduce the rate from £132.50/m2 to £122.50/m2, arguing the appeal property was isolated from the main cluster of showrooms and citing market stagnation in the used car sector. The tribunal found that investment and growth in the market through 2015 supported the VO's reduced rate of £127.50/m2, and that settlement summaries and comparable assessments demonstrated this rate was reasonable given the property's location and characteristics relative to other showrooms in the area.
