What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought a reduction from £620,000 (£23/m²) to £550,000 (£21.50/m²) and argued for a 5% allowance for Japanese Knotweed as a natural hazard. The tribunal rejected the Knotweed allowance as a freeholder responsibility under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 that would not reduce rental value. However, the tribunal accepted that the base price per square metre was too high and reduced it to £22/m² as recommended by the Valuation Officer himself, since there was no supporting evidence for an increase and insufficient evidence for the appellant's £21.50/m² figure. The appeal was allowed in part, reducing the RV to £595,000.
