What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (Palletline Limited) challenged the rateable value of the warehouse property, arguing that the unadjusted base rate should be reduced from £52.50 to £42.50 psm and the canopy relativity from 25% to 15%. The tribunal found that the canopy was superior to the appellant's comparable assessments, with full coverage and fire protection systems not present in the comparables. For the base rate, the tribunal determined that comparable large distribution warehouse assessments agreed at £52.50 psm provided the best evidence and that the rental evidence supported this valuation, dismissing the appeal.
