What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the rateable value should be reduced from £43,500 to £36,750 RV, contending that a tone of value of £55/m² was appropriate rather than the VO's £65/m². The tribunal, applying Lotus and Delta principles and analysing comparable rental evidence including the subject property's own rent of £68.81/m² and comparable properties at 1 Potters Lane renting at £65/m², found that the main space price of £65/m² and resultant RV of £43,500 was reasonable and in line with market evidence, dismissing the appeal.
