Shop & Café, Whitesands, St Davids, Haverfordwest SA62 6PS

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that renovation works in November–December 2018 had reduced the retail zone and changed the property's use primarily to a café, justifying a reduction to £10,000. The Valuation Officer revised the valuation to £18,000, adopting a tone of £140/m² based on rental evidence and adjusting for the change of use and reduced retail area. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the revised valuation fair and reasonable as it had properly accounted for the material change in circumstances and change of use.
