What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Zone A price of £1,500 per m2 was excessive and proposed £1,250 per m2, reducing the RV to £64,500. The tribunal found that the present tone of £1,500 per m2 was reasonable, being supported by the subject rent of £75,000 pa (analysing at £1,440.37 per m2) and the basket of comparable evidence, which contained numerous rents analysing above the tone. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £77,500 confirmed.
