What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that a quantum allowance should be applied to reduce the price per m² for larger office units on the business park, citing evidence from a neighboring property (1st Floor Ralls House) and rental analysis of Technology House. The tribunal found that while size differences existed between properties, the limited rental evidence presented showed minimal effect on price per m², and the original quantum allowance in the 2017 Rating List scheme had been properly reviewed and removed following the Ralls House tribunal decision. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding the Valuation Officer's adopted price of £70 per m² to be reasonable.
