What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £275,000 to £225,000, arguing the subject property's location was inferior to comparable car showrooms at White Hart Lane despite its more modern construction. The tribunal preferred the appellant's reliance on rental evidence from 1 White Hart Lane (£232.05/m²) and the agreed base rate of £225/m² for comparable properties, accepting that the subject property's locational disadvantage justified a lower rate of £215/m² to reflect the established relative values between the properties.
