What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £149,000 (£350/m²) on the basis that tone adopted by the rating authority and settled in the locality was £300/m². Although the respondent provided rental evidence supporting £350/m² or above, the tribunal noted that comparable properties with similar or higher rental evidence had been valued at £300/m² or lower when entered in the rating list and settled appeals. The tribunal found that a tone of £300/m² had been established in the locality and allowed the appeal, confirming RV £127,000.
