What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £8,500 to £5,000, arguing the adopted valuation was inaccurate. The Valuation Officer presented evidence that the property had been valued using a Zone A underlying value of £100/m², the lowest level applied to retail units in the vicinity, with comparables in the area ranging from £100/m² to £160/m². The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding no evidence that the adopted level of value was wrong, that the appellant had not presented details of property disadvantages to justify allowances, and that while the appellant had invested considerable funds in the business, the tribunal could not reduce the RV to sustain it.
