What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £34,250 RV to £30,000 RV, arguing that the main space price of £42.00/m² was excessive compared to comparable rental evidence, including a declining trend shown by two rents on similar properties and settlement evidence from nearby schemes. The tribunal found that the comparable rental evidence, particularly Unit 15/16 Upper Westland Square at 538m² with an adjusted price of £43.09/m², supported the valuation at £42.00/m². The tribunal concluded that the appellant had failed to produce sufficient evidence to justify the reduction and dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV of £34,250 as correctly valued.", <parameter name="decisive_ground">tone_of_list_comparables
