What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £377,500 to £295,000 by applying a base rate of £55/m2 instead of the existing £70/m2, arguing the subject property had inferior motorway access. The tribunal applied the Lotus and Delta principles and found the existing base rate of £70/m2 was not unreasonable, having regard to the actual rent passing on the subject property (£72.96/m2) and comparable properties of similar size, particularly Matthew Clark Ltd which had analysed rent of £79.73/m2 set shortly after the antecedent valuation date.
