What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Valuation Officer's adopted price of £25.50 per m2 did not fairly reflect quantum and proposed £15 per m2 based on comparable assessments including Units 1-2 Chris Allsop Industrial Park. The Valuation Officer supported £25.50 per m2 using rental and assessment evidence from comparable properties. The tribunal found the appellant's principal comparable was too basic and unrepresentative, and that the VO's evidence from properties of similar age and size (valued at £27-28 per m2 for properties under 5,000 m2) supported the adopted price of £25.50 per m2 as a fair reflection of quantum.
