What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, represented by a surveyor, argued for a reduction to £12,000 RV (£65/m²) based on rental evidence and comparables from the industrial estate. The tribunal found that the passing rent could not be relied upon due to uncertainties and that the VO's single comparable property (Unit 10 Invicta Business Park, valued at £80/m²) was the best available evidence. The tribunal confirmed the RV of £15,000 at £80/m² was fair and reasonable, dismissing the appeal as the appellant had failed to provide evidence that Unit 10 was not a reasonable comparable.
