What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Zone A price of £650 per m2 was excessive, submitting rental evidence supporting £590 per m2 and analysis of the subject rent at £401 per m2. The tribunal found that the subject rent appeared to be an outlier, and that comparable evidence closest to the antecedent valuation date (4 The Meadows at £646.29 per m2) supported the present valuation. The tribunal concluded the appellant had not discharged the burden of proving the valuation unreasonable.
