What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of the police station property on the basis that corridor spaces should not be included in the assessment as they are structural. The parties reached a verbal agreement at the hearing that corridors should be excluded from the measurement. The tribunal found the current assessment of £196,000 was excessive and reduced it to £168,000 with effect from 1 April 2017.
