What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the Valuation Officer's valuation of storage land, arguing that certain areas (car parking spaces and swing gate area) should be excluded, that the canopy was smaller than recorded, and that the base rate should be reduced. The tribunal found the land rateable for non-domestic rating and agreed with the appellant on the canopy measurement and the reduced base rate of £4.71/m² for unsurfaced fenced land. However, it rejected exclusion of the car parking spaces and swing gate area, and included the storage container within the valuation. The tribunal adopted a reduced rateable value of £1,300 with effect from 16 April 2019, and also amended the original 2017 entry retrospectively.
