What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended the subject property was overvalued at £45.15/m2 and should be valued at £35/m2 to align with comparable properties in the Templefields industrial area that had been settled at that rate in the 2017 list, and with the tribunal's 2010 list decision on the same property. The tribunal found that comparable properties cited by the appellant were located in a different industrial area (Templefields, three miles away) and dismissed the appeal, holding that each industrial area has its own market and that the evidence on properties within the same Pinnacles industrial area did not support a reduction.
