What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants sought reductions from the rateable values on the basis of a lower zone A rate of £450/m2 compared to the existing assessments at £500/m2. The tribunal examined rental evidence from three comparable properties (95, 65, and 77 High Street), which analysed to between £494.19/m2 and £526.41/m2. The tribunal found the tribunal more persuaded by the Valuation Officer's analysis of the 95 High Street comparable and determined that the existing zone A rate of £500/m2 was not unreasonable, dismissing all three appeals.
