What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a car showroom operator, challenged the rateable value of £182,000, proposing £167,000 based on a reduced main space rate of £107.50/m2. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's reduced value of £174,000 (at £112.50/m2) was reasonable by reference to comparable car showroom assessments at Cargo Fleet Lane, which at £127.50/m2 reflected the advantages of their prime cluster location. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the subject property's lower rate appropriately reflected its less prominent secondary location.
