What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value, proposing to reduce the unadjusted base rate from £52.50 to £42.50 psm and lower the canopy relativity from 25% to 15%. The tribunal found the subject property's canopy was superior to the appellant's comparables, being full-length with sprinkler and fire protection, and was persuaded that the best evidence came from comparable assessments of similar large distribution warehouses valued at £52.50 psm near the antecedent valuation date. The appeal was dismissed and the rateable value upheld at £905,000 (1 April 2017) and £925,000 (22 June 2017).
