What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a car supermarket, arguing for a reduction from £1,360,000 to £785,000 based on insufficient rental evidence and excessive tonal increases compared to similar properties. The tribunal found that while the valuation officer's adopted tone of £105/m² (reduced to post-challenge level) was overstated, the appellant's proposed figure of £65/m² fell below what the evidence supported. The tribunal determined a fair tone of £85/m², resulting in an RV of £1,080,000, allowing the appeal in part.
