What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to split a single assessment (RV £12,500) into two independent businesses on the ground and upper floors, with the upper floor to be valued at £45/m². The Valuation Officer contended the upper floor should be valued at £55/m². The tribunal allowed the split and confirmed the ground floor at £3,450 (as agreed), but upheld the Valuation Officer's valuation of the upper floor at £55/m², resulting in an RV of £6,900, based on comparable settled assessments at nearby properties that had been valued at that rate.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, unrepresented.
