What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants sought reductions to the rateable values on the basis that the Valuation Officer's adopted tone of £90/m² was excessive, arguing instead for a tone of £70/m² (later revised from £65/m²). The tribunal accepted that the proper analysis of the key Unit 2 rental evidence, when adjusted for tenant fit-out costs of approximately £33,000, supported a tone close to £90/m². The tribunal found that other rental evidence and comparable assessments within the trade park were consistent with the existing scheme tone and did not support the appellants' proposed reduction. The appeals were dismissed as the assessments were found to be reasonable.
