What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property should be valued at a lower rate per m² and sought reduction to £20,250, citing physical changes to the property, comparison to similar properties, and a potential material change of circumstances related to travellers' sites. The tribunal found no evidence of significant physical change to the property and determined that the base rate of £35/m² and adopted rate of £34.13/m² were fair and reasonable, supported by comparable assessments within Engineer Park Industrial Estate. The appeals were dismissed as the appellant failed to provide evidence that a material change of circumstances had occurred which would impact the rateable value.
