Figures are as stated in the decision, and are values in the 2017 list; a dash means the document does not state that figure.

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £24,500 to £15,000, arguing that the rental percentage applied (9.29%) was inappropriate for a community house and that a 6% percentage based on forecast turnover of £250,000 was more appropriate. However, the Valuation Officer had served a Notice reducing the entry to £21,500 prior to the hearing, making the original assessment historic. The Tribunal determined that although the proposal was made in good faith against the entry on the material day, the subsequent Notice made that assessment historic, rendering the proposal without effect and requiring dismissal.
