What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of £10,750 based on a Zone A rate of £325/m2, arguing it was excessive and proposing £8,000 based on £242.50/m2. The tribunal found that the subject property's lease at £8,000 (£240.17/m2) and comparative rental evidence from nearby properties (ranging from £229.76/m2 to £344.10/m2) supported a reduction. The tribunal concluded that £325/m2 was excessive and adopted £280/m2 ITZA, resulting in a reduced rateable value of £9,300.
