What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of a storage and premises building, arguing for a lower price per m² (£37 instead of £50), a smaller site area, and allowances for poor access and lack of toilet facilities. The tribunal rejected the area and access arguments, finding adequate access routes and accepting the VO's site measurement based on aerial photography. The tribunal accepted comparable evidence (settled assessments at £50 per m²) as supporting the original valuation rate. However, the tribunal allowed a 5% allowance for the absence of toilet facilities, reflecting the rural location and lack of alternative facilities, reducing the RV from £21,700 to £20,750.
