What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list entry of £225,000 (reduced to £214,000 by the VO following challenge), seeking a reduction to £178,000 based on £75-£78.50/m2, arguing the land should be excluded from valuation. The tribunal found the existing valuation at £80/m2 was reasonable, supported by rental evidence from comparable units on the same Beddington Cross estate (Units 2 and 4) agreed near the antecedent valuation date. The tribunal was not persuaded that the land should be wholly removed from the valuation, as the rents achieved on the subject property itself demonstrated the land had value, and comparable properties cited by the appellant from other localities lacked rental evidence to support a different approach.
