What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (car showroom operator) argued the rateable value should be reduced from £214,000 to £200,000, based on a unit rate of £111/m2, contending the property was in a secondary/tertiary location with limited rental evidence. The Valuation Officer contended the rate of £120/m2 was reasonable, relying on comparative rental evidence and arguing the property's location on Nuttall Road was accessible and not as inferior as claimed. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's £120/m2 rate was justified by the rental evidence and comparable assessments, and was not persuaded the property warranted a further reduction.
