What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the original rate of £55/m² was over-assessed and out of line with comparable properties, proposing £50/m². The tribunal found the rental evidence unhelpful as it was not an open-market rent, and reduced evidence from other properties in the locality was stale. However, the tribunal found sufficient evidence in comparable assessments of similar older properties that had been reduced to £52.50/m², making this rate fair and reasonable for the appeal property, allowing the appeal in part.
