What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the rateable values of two industrial units on the basis that the main space rates applied (£106.49/m² and £116.95/m²) were excessive, seeking reductions to £90/m². The tribunal found, applying the principles from Lotus and Delta v Culverwell and reviewing the rental evidence of the subject properties, comparable assessments, and the VO's size matrix, that the existing main space rates were indeed excessive. The tribunal allowed the appeals in part, reducing Unit 13 from £170,000 to £160,000 RV and Unit 16 from £177,000 to £161,000 RV, adopting main space rates of £100/m² and £105/m² respectively, as these rates more accurately reflected the attributes and rental evidence of the properties.
