What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, represented by a surveyor, argued that a 240m² area of the showroom should be reclassified as internal storage at a lower tone of £50/m², disputing the Valuation Officer's measurement and comparable valuations. The Tribunal found the appellant's proposed tone of £50/m² was unsupported by evidence, that functional arrangements and signage were immaterial to valuation under the statutory basis, and that the Valuation Officer's proposed RV of £79,000 (reflecting a tone of £65/m² as the mid-point between comparable properties) properly reflected the property's value. The appeal was dismissed.
