What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property was overvalued compared to neighbouring shops and should be valued using a zonal method or on a basis comparable to other non-traditional shops in the area, which would result in approximately 40% reduction. The Valuation Officer contended the property, being a former public house with non-traditional layout, should be valued on an overall basis at £110/m2, supported by comparables evidence. The tribunal accepted the appellant had not fully undermined the Valuation Officer's approach to overall valuation but agreed the unit rate should be reduced from £110/m2 to £90/m2, allowing the appeal in part to £9,800.
