What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, represented by a surveyor, argued that the restaurant should be valued at £200 per m² (RV £49,500) rather than £345 per m² (RV £85,000) on the basis that comparable properties in the Trinity Centre had experienced rental falls of 33-47% between the 2017 and 2023 rating lists due to Covid lockdown, whilst the subject property had only fallen 8%. The tribunal found that comparable rental evidence at the antecedent valuation date (1 April 2021) supported the valuation of £345 per m², including rents on nearby Boar Lane, and that the dramatic falls in the Trinity Centre upper floors did not reflect wider rental trends on the ground floor or in the subject's immediate locality.
