What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £13,500 to £1, arguing that footfall in Aberystwyth had fallen dramatically due to the university and council offices relocating out of town. The Valuation Officer presented rental evidence supporting a zone A rate of £300/m2. The tribunal found that the appellant had not provided evidence to undermine the Valuation Officer's valuation and considered the adopted zone A rate of £300/m2 to be fair and reasonable based on the rental evidence presented, therefore dismissing the appeal.
