What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value on the basis that the basic rate of £600/m2 was excessive, proposing £515/m2 initially. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, reducing the basis of value to £550/m2. For the Part 1st Floor unit (CHG101058665), the tribunal applied a 5% allowance for poor access and 15% allowance for lack of natural light, finding these disadvantages warranted reductions below the main-space rate.
