What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value had increased substantially and unfairly from £10,250 to £22,250, contending that various areas within the store had been valued too highly compared to comparable properties and that the property should have been valued on a zonal rather than overall basis. The tribunal rejected these arguments, finding that the Valuation Officer was correct to value the property as a convenience store on an overall basis using GIA measurements, and that the unit value of £70/m2 adopted was supported by rental and settlement evidence from similar properties in the locality.
