What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the rateable value should be reduced to £53,500 based on a £50.00/m² rate, relying on older rental evidence and comparables. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's evidence of more recent rents and lease renewals close to the AVD (1 April 2023), supporting £59.83/m², to be more persuasive and gave it appropriate weight. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant had not presented sufficient evidence to warrant a reduction.
