What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £133,000 to £120,000 (a rate of £28/m² instead of £30/m²), arguing that merged units should attract a quantum allowance. The Tribunal found the £30/m² rate was reasonable, supported by comparable assessments in the valuation scheme and a comparable letting at 39/43 Rixon Road, and dismissed the appeal as the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to support the lower valuation sought.
