What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, who did not attend the hearing, argued that the kiosk was in a poor location far from the town centre, operated only seasonally, and should be assessed at a much lower rateable value than comparables like 1 North Parade. The Valuation Officer had reduced the price per square metre from £110 to £105, lowering the RV from £9,600 to £9,200 based on the passing rent of £9,240. The tribunal confirmed the reduced RV of £9,200, finding that the location near Craig Y Don Paddling Pool and Bodafon Farm Park was actually prime, that the appellant had provided no contrary rental evidence, and that the £105 per m2 was reasonable given the prevailing rent on the subject property.
