What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the existing valuations were excessive, relying on rental evidence from similar blister hanger buildings and applying the Lotus & Delta principles. The tribunal found the appellant's comparable properties more persuasive as they shared the same arched shape and construction characteristics, causing similar operational limitations. The tribunal adopted a unit area rate of £34/m2 (compared to the original £65/m2 and £57.50/m2) as it was supported by rents analysed from 2014–2015, being closer to the antecedent valuation date.
