What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants challenged the zone A rate of £500/m2 used in the 2023 rating assessments, arguing for a reduction to £450/m2 to reflect market conditions and the Covid-19 pandemic. The tribunal examined comparable property rents on High Street, Banstead and found the three comparable rents analysed to between £494.19/m2 and £526.41/m2. Applying the principles established in Lotus & Delta, the tribunal was persuaded that the existing zone A rate of £500/m2 was not unreasonable and dismissed all three appeals.
