What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a restaurant operator, challenged the rateable value of £422,500 based on a tone of value of £615 per m2, claiming the property's unique character and poor access warranted a lower valuation. The tribunal found the appellant's rental evidence was remote from the antecedent valuation date and the lease details were incompletely documented, while accepting the respondent's comparable evidence from similar restaurants nearby supported a tone of £1,150 per m2 with a 30% allowance for access and location factors.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Restaurant 264 Ltd, represented.
