What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, through their surveyor, proposed reducing the RV from £18,000 to £8,750, arguing the property lacked window frontage, parking and vehicular passing trade and should be valued at £60/m2. The Valuation Officer defended the assessment using comparable convenience stores and revised the valuation to £14,750 using £90/m2, which the tribunal found was logical and compelling evidence. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part to the extent conceded by the Valuation Officer.
