What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that parts of the first, second and ground floors should be excluded from the assessment as circulation/corridor space and access areas respectively, reducing the rateable value to £700,000. The tribunal found that while some areas were genuinely circulation space and should be excluded under RICS Code of Measuring Practice Point 3.15(b), approximately 50% of the disputed areas on each floor qualified for exclusion. The tribunal determined the correct rateable value to be £730,000, agreeing to exclude corridor space on the first and second floors and access space on the ground floor, but allowing usable breakout areas to remain in the assessment despite the appellant's non-use of them.
