What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction from £52,000 RV (£23.50/m²) to £44,250 RV (£20.00/m²), arguing the rate adopted was excessive based on rental evidence from smaller comparable properties and a quantum allowance for the property's large size. The tribunal found that comparable properties of similar size and age on the same business park supported the £23.50/m² rate, which was towards the lower end of the range and reflected the property's size. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant had not produced sufficient evidence to justify the reduction.
