What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the Valuation Officer's price per m² of £80, seeking a reduction to £70. The tribunal found that the comparable properties at Thames Gateway Park (Units 4, 5, 6 and 7), which were assessed at £70/m², were in close proximity, of similar construction, and better comparables than the scheme-based valuation approach. The tribunal concluded the subject hereditament was assessed too high and should be valued at £70/m², resulting in a rateable value reduction from £186,000 to £163,000 effective from 1 April 2017.
