What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of a warehouse, initially seeking £38,250 (£42.50/m²) against the listed value of £54,000. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable properties were too distant or dissimilar to carry weight. Instead, it relied on new market lettings of smaller units on the same Acorn Park industrial estate (at £57.96/m² and £62.41/m²), which supported the Valuation Officer's conceded rate of £55/m² (£49,750). The tribunal dismissed the appeal in part, confirming the VO's conceded value as reasonable.
