What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the semi-detached warehouse was built in the 1950s-60s and should be valued in an older valuation scheme, proposing an RV of £151,000. The tribunal found the hereditament was constructed in 1985 based on approved planning permission for demolition and reconstruction, physical attributes, and other evidence, and was correctly valued in the 1980s scheme at £82.50 per m². The tribunal placed limited weight on the subject lease rent due to adjustments required for the rating hypothesis and insufficient comparable evidence to support a reduction, therefore dismissing the appeal and confirming the RV at £226,000.
