What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the base rate for the workshop should be reduced from £60/m² to £42/m², seeking an RV of £48,000, supported by comparable rental evidence. The tribunal accepted the VO's analysis of comparable properties and concluded the correct base rate was £57.50/m² (£53.30/m² after allowances), resulting in an RV of £68,000. The appeal was allowed in part because the effective date needed correction to 1 June 2017 rather than 23 November 2020.
