What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the ground floor should be valued as a workshop at 50% of the office tone of value (£290 per m²) plus a 5% allowance for poor natural light, rather than as offices as the Valuation Officer had determined. The tribunal examined the physical characteristics of the property on the material day and concluded that the ground floor was indeed a workshop, supported by its features including a workbench and lack of natural light, and that this was consistent with the respondent's standard practice for similar mixed-use properties. The tribunal allowed the appeal and determined the revised rateable value at £34,000.
