What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £13,000 to £9,500, arguing that the adopted tone of £150/m² was excessive and should be reduced to £110/m², and that a dedicated shower room should be separately valued. The tribunal found that the comparables on the same retail park provided strong evidence supporting the £150/m² tone, whereas the appellant's comparables from different locations and/or larger sizes were not truly comparable. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, determining that the adopted rate was reasonable and the shower room, being a temporary tenant's improvement, should not be valued separately.
