What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of three industrial units valued at £442,500, proposing £390,000. The tribunal found that the valuation officer's adoption of £55/m² for Units 1-2 and £70/m² for Unit 3 was excessive when compared to comparable properties on Enterprise Way and Pulloxhill Business Park. The tribunal reduced Unit 2 to £50/m² and Unit 3 to £55/m² to align with local tone comparables, confirming the appeal property should be valued individually rather as an aggregate, resulting in a revised RV of £405,000.
