What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list valuation of a large industrial warehouse, arguing the £37.50 per m² rate was excessive compared to comparable properties at nearby Markham Vale. The tribunal accepted comparable evidence showing similar properties valued at £35.00 per m² and adjusted further due to the subject property's remoteness, lower eaves height, and older construction. The tribunal also allowed the removal of a 2.5% heating allowance as facilities were present, and applied a 5% uplift (rather than 10%) for comfort cooling in the showroom area, resulting in a reduced RV of £550,000 from the VO's £575,000.
