What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued for a reduction in the base rate from £265/m2 to £213.75/m2 and a 5% allowance for unconventional shape, citing two comparable properties at Forge Lane. The tribunal found that these comparables were in a different locality two miles away and not comparable to the appeal property. The tribunal was satisfied by the VO's comparable evidence of assessments within the same building at £265/m2, which supported the current valuation. The appellant provided no evidence to support the shape allowance claim, and the tribunal dismissed the appeal.
