What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £11,000 to £5,654 on the grounds that the first and second floors were uninhabitable and only the ground floor was in use. The Valuation Officer demonstrated that the first floor value attributable to the property was only £93, which had been effectively removed through rounding, and submitted that the underlying ground floor valuation was outside the scope of the proposal. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant provided no supporting evidence for the reduction sought and that misapprehension about the level of rates did not form a basis for reducing the rateable value.
