What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company sought to reclassify the subject nursery from NUR2 (£500 per child space) to NUR3 (£300 per child space), arguing it was located in a rural area away from commuter routes with higher maintenance costs. The tribunal found that the subject nursery, despite being on the outskirts of Lechlade, was part of a significantly affluent town, had good access to the A361 and arterial roads, was well-located for commuting parents near two RAF bases with substantial employment, and the rental evidence supported NUR2 classification. The appeal was dismissed and the rateable value maintained at £50,000.
