What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the rateable value of £11,750 was incorrect and excessive, claiming the property lacked heating, natural light and customer facilities. The Valuation Officer contended the property should be valued as a workshop and premises at £35/m2, supported by the subject rental evidence from 1st April 2014 analysing to £35.01/m2 and settlement evidence from comparable units on the same estate. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's valuation as logical and compelling, finding the appellant had failed to provide sufficient evidence to warrant a reduction, and dismissed the appeal.
