What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the unit price of £52 per m2 (adjusted to £50.70 per m2 for lack of heating) was excessive and should be reduced to £25 per m2 based on comparable hangars at the same airport. The tribunal found the original assessment unreasonable. Weighing rental evidence from comparable properties (SE3, SE13, and SE47) which supported rates ranging from £42.71 to £46.83 per m2, and considering the subject property's larger size, the tribunal determined an unadjusted rate of £42 per m2 was appropriate, reducing the RV from £83,500 to £67,500.
