What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property should be valued as a standard industrial unit at £45 per m2 in scheme 337000 based on comparable assessments at Fareham Reach, citing the lower eaves height (11.14m) and mid-size (9,020.7m2). The tribunal found the property was correctly assessed as a modern, high-bay distribution warehouse under the national scheme at £65 per m2, having confirmed the correct classification based on the property's physical attributes including two bays, high eaves height, large yard, multiple loading doors, and good motorway access, which distinguished it from the older, lower-specification comparables cited by the appellant.
