What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £27,750 assigned after a warehouse unit was split, proposing a reduction to £21,500 and arguing the rent value was excessive and failed to account for unusable space beneath a traveller crane. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the unit rate of £36.70/m² fitted an established tone within the industrial estate, that the appellant's rental evidence was from connected parties post-valuation date and thus of little weight, and that the crane was properly rateable plant under the Plant and Machinery Regulations.
