What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable values on the grounds that the 2023 list entries at £210 psm were excessive, proposing £112.50 psm. The tribunal considered extensive rental evidence from comparable retail parks and found the original RV unreasonable, but determined that the appellant's proposed figure was too low. The tribunal adopted £180 psm based on evidence from Gallagher Retail Park, Central Six Retail Park, and Kynner Way, while accepting the subject properties were in a superior location with larger scale and newer construction.
