What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable value of £111,000 (£45 per m² for the 1993 section and £50 per m² for the 2003 section) was unreasonable and should be reduced to £71,500 (£28.25 per m² for the 1993 section and £32.75 per m² for the 2003 section), based on rental evidence analysed between £30.08 and £59.13 per m². The tribunal found that rental evidence from properties within Bingham itself, particularly Rear of Unit 4 analysed at £48.55 per m² and Office units at Ranch Chapel Lane at £47.31-£60.97 per m², supported the respondent's valuation. The tribunal was not persuaded by the appellant's argument that the RV was unreasonable and dismissed the appeals, confirming the RV at £111,000.
