What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the rateable value of the car showroom was excessive at a rate of £180/m², seeking reduction to £127/m². The tribunal reviewed rental evidence, comparable assessments, and market evidence for car showrooms in the locality. Finding that comparable showrooms were assessed at £180/m² to £200/m² and that the appellant's proposed rate of £127/m² was out of kilter with other showrooms in the area, the tribunal upheld the current assessment as reasonable and dismissed the appeal.
