What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £200,000, arguing that storage land should not be included in the assessment and that some fenced land would be used for car parking rather than storage. The tribunal found that the land was actually being used as storage at the valuation date and applied the Upper Tribunal's decision in Dal Virk to value the storage containers at £72 per container and value all storage land at £5.00 per m2. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant had provided no comparable evidence to dispute the land value and that the VO correctly assessed the property in accordance with the caselaw.
