What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable values of two retail warehouse units, arguing they were too high and proposing a reduction from the listed values. The appellant relied primarily on comparable properties with lower unit rates, particularly Unit 2C at £98/m2, but the tribunal found most comparables were either too small, too different in use (such as food shops with specific use clauses), or too remote from the valuation date to carry significant weight. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's analysis supporting a tone of £140/m2 and found the appellant had failed to discharge the burden of proof that the current assessments were unreasonable.
