What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company appealed the rateable values of two large distribution warehouses in Tamworth, arguing that the tone of £67.50/m² should be reduced to £62.50/m² based on comparable rental evidence including Unit 5 Tamworth Logistics Park at £59.17/m² and Plot E3 Birch Coppice at £57.35/m². The tribunal preferred the Valuation Officer's evidence, finding that local rental comparables in Tamworth and surrounding areas supported £65/m² or higher, that the unusually large rental incentive at Unit 5 could not be properly analysed, and that Plot E3 assumed an unfitted property. The appeals were dismissed.
