What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the compiled list RV of £35,500, which the VO reduced to £29,500. The appellant argued the Zone A price of £550/m² was excessive compared to comparable properties, particularly those on the opposite side of the street valued at £230/m². The tribunal found the VO's comparable properties included offices rather than retail shops and were not comparable; it accepted the appellant's Zone A price of £360/m² (between 59 Mill Lane at £450/m² and The Mansions at £230/m²) and a 10% allowance for step access, reducing the RV to £19,250.
