What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (Dipple & Son Ltd) challenged the rateable value of a historic retail premises in Norwich, seeking a reduction from £41,500 (zone A rate of £400/m²) to £27,250 (£262.50/m²). The appellant's comparables were located remotely, insufficiently comparable in size/character, or reflected post-AVD pandemic recovery conditions. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's comparable evidence more persuasive, particularly rental evidence proximate to the AVD from similar properties establishing an established tone of value of £400/m². The appellant failed to discharge the burden of demonstrating the RV was unreasonable.
