What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value of £111,000 (equivalent to £45/m² for the 1993 section and £50/m² for the 2003 section) was excessive, seeking a reduction to £71,500 based on rental evidence analysed at lower rates and comparable properties with reduced values. The tribunal found that no rental evidence was available for the subject property itself, but considered the most compelling comparable rental evidence came from properties within Bingham itself, particularly Units 59-61 Moorbridge Road (£54.09/m²) and Rear of Unit 4, 1st Floor Ranch, Chapel Lane (£48.55/m²), which supported the respondent's valuation. The tribunal dismissed the appeal on the basis that this local rental evidence supported the existing rateable value.
