What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the 2017 rating list entry for a shop at £46,000 RV (£80/m²), proposing £29,250 RV (£43.75/m²) based on the subject rent post-AVD and comparison with the 2023 list revaluation. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the adopted price of £80/m² was reasonable by reference to comparable retail assessments in the locality (particularly 69 Newbigin at £110/m²), and rejected reliance on post-AVD rental evidence and inter-list comparisons as the proper approach under law.
