What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £86,500 (Zone A rate of £1,175/m²) to £75,500 (Zone A rate of £1,025/m²), arguing that comparable rental evidence supported a lower valuation. The tribunal found that whilst the rental evidence on both sides was limited and unreliable, the VO's valuation was reasonable. The comparable properties supported the existing Zone A rate, particularly those on the opposite side of the road which were valued lower but still supported the subject property's higher value given its superior location with wider pavements and better footfall potential.
