What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £31,250 to £23,000 (£40/m²) based on a lease renewal of the subject property at £24,780 per annum (£42.98/m²). The tribunal found this lease renewal carried little weight as it was not an open market agreement and lacked supporting documentation. The tribunal instead gave greater weight to comparable evidence across the Chailey Industrial Estate, where similar industrial units were valued at £55/m² in the 2017 list, which was not found to be excessive. The appeal was dismissed and the RV confirmed at £31,250.
