What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant's agent argued that the rateable value should be reduced to £12,959.25 (approximately £12,750 as initially proposed), citing the property's annual rent of £10,000 and comparable properties valued at £370 per m², and also relying on evidence of disturbance from scaffolding erected during council works. The tribunal found that the Valuation Officer's Zone A rate of £500 per m² was appropriate, noting that comparable properties in the same location as the subject property supported this level, and that the disturbance issue could not be considered as the appeal was made under the Compiled List rules rather than on the basis of material change of circumstances.
