What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant's agent argued that Zone B of the property should not be valued as retail space since it was being used only as a passageway to service the cool store and staff toilet. The tribunal found that properties must be valued on a hypothetical vacant-to-let basis, and a hypothetical tenant could reasonably use Zone B as retail space. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's evidence that the overall value of £425/m² was in line with similar properties on Chalybeate Street, and dismissed the appeal.
