What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £12,750 to £8,059, contending the property should be valued on a zoning basis with differing rates per square metre for different areas, arguing inconsistency with comparable properties also using zoning. The tribunal found the property should be valued as a Convenience Store on an overall basis using gross internal area, as required by the Rating Manual, and dismissed the appeal. The tribunal upheld the Valuation Officer's revised assessment of £14,000, determining that the appellant had failed to sustain his argument that this assessment was incorrect and had not provided sufficient evidence to undermine the Valuation Officer's valuation methodology.
