What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the main space price should be £116/m2 rather than £140/m2, based on rental analysis of comparable unit 16 Bessemer Park. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's rental analysis establishing £159.79/m2 for the subject property and noted that comparable rents analysed between £109.22/m2 and £252.08/m2, making the adopted scheme valuation of £140/m2 reasonable. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant presented insufficient convincing evidence and no arguments against the valuation scheme of £140/m2 applicable to all Bessemer Park properties.
