What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, operating a restaurant, challenged the rateable value of £12,000, arguing that parking was inadequate, the location was poor due to a busy road, and there were vacant nearby units. The Valuation Officer relied on passing rent of £16,500 and comparable rents in the area, noting that the premises would be valued as retail space under the rating hypothesis. The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the current rent passing (£16,500) and earlier rent (£13,500 in June 2015) both exceeded the rateable value, and the appellant provided no rental evidence to the contrary; the Tribunal held that issues such as parking and location would be reflected in the passing rent.
