What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value to £8,500, arguing that the property's location in a designated managed retreat area with flood risk and the planned road diversion should affect its valuation. The Valuation Officer conceded to £14,500 based on comparable rental and assessment evidence. The tribunal allowed the appeal only to the extent conceded by the Valuation Officer, finding that no evidence of sufficient strength supported the appellant's contention that the underlying tone should be half that proposed, and that the comparable properties provided reasonable support for the £14,500 valuation at the material day of 1 April 2017.
