What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the rateable value from £46,000 to £36,750 based on a proposed rate of £47.50/m². The tribunal considered rental evidence from comparable properties and found that properties under 1,000m² in the same scheme were consistently assessed at £60/m². The tribunal concluded that the rental evidence for comparable properties (ranging from £57.95/m² to £72.71/m²) did not support the appellant's proposed rate, and therefore dismissed the appeal, maintaining the original assessment of £46,000.
