What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £23,000 to £14,750, arguing for a lower zone A tone of £190/m² based on comparable properties and applying allowances for structural pillars and basement disrepair. The Valuation Officer contended that the £300/m² Zone A value was supported by rental evidence and settled values on Chester Street. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant's evidence was insufficient to disturb the accepted tone of the locality and preferring the Valuation Officer's reliance on established comparable properties and settlement evidence on Chester Street.
