What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the base rate of £40/m² was too high and that comparable evidence from similar properties in the same valuation scheme (showing rates of £27.79–£33.21/m²) supported a reduction to £30/m² and RV of £41,000. The tribunal found that the appellant's comparable properties, when unadjusted, were above the £40/m² rate and that Units 3 & 4 Low Mills Road (at £56.18/m²) supported the current valuation. The tribunal confirmed the RV of £50,000 as fair and reasonable, finding the appellant had not proven the valuation was excessive.
