What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in the unadjusted rate from £50 to £40 per m² and removal of 298.75m² of land (stated as two areas: 240m² and 58.75m²) from the assessment. The tribunal found the £50 per m² rate reasonable based on comparable properties that were closer in size and location to the subject property. The tribunal allowed removal of the larger 240m² area of land, finding it served primarily as access to loading bays rather than storage, but dismissed removal of the 58.75m² area which the evidence showed was used for storage with items stored there for a considerable time. The appeal was allowed in part, resulting in an RV of £131,000.
