What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduced Zone A rate of £1,700 per m2 (from £1,900 per m2) for the subject retail unit, arguing it should be valued consistently with properties at numbers 15-31 Bridlesmith Gate, citing disrupted pedestrian flow at the junction. The tribunal found the subject hereditament was in the most prominent location on Bridlesmith Gate with superior visibility and access to the city centre, justifying the higher tone value and the 10% allowance for size and shape applied by the Valuation Officer.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Fat Face Ltd, represented.
