What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of a prime franchise car showroom on Scotswood Road at £142,000 (£170/m²), proposing £121,500 (£145/m²). The Valuation Officer maintained £129,000 (£155/m²), arguing Scotswood Road warranted a premium over Silverlink due to proximity to Newcastle city centre. The tribunal found the settlement agreement for Patterson Seat on Scotswood Road at £145/m² was the most persuasive comparable evidence, accepting that values were now aligned between the two locations, and allowed the appeal to £121,000 (£145/m²).
