What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable values for two ground floor office units, arguing for a lower tone per m2 and increased allowance for poor natural light. The tribunal found that the adopted tone should be reduced from £620/m2 to £565/m2 based on the weight of rental evidence, including the subject property's own rent. However, the tribunal rejected the case for increasing the natural light allowance from 5% to 15% for the rear unit and applying a 7.5% allowance to the front unit, finding insufficient evidence of adverse internal impact.
