What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, who was a small independent convenience store operator, argued the property should be valued at £14,000 (£55/m2) based on comparable independent retailers and disadvantaged location. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer had properly considered the property's considerable disadvantages—poor visibility, isolated location, one-metre concrete pillars reducing useable space—and had reasonably reduced the valuation to £180/m2 (£56,000) from the original £300/m2. The appellant's comparable evidence was either valued on different zoning schemes or were branded supermarkets in better locations, not genuinely comparable, and did not support the claimed reduction to £14,000.
