What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the 2017 Rating List valuation of the modern industrial warehouse (4,871 m²), arguing that the £110 per m² rate applied was excessive. The tribunal found that comparable evidence, particularly Unit 2 Space Waye (£100 per m²) and the adjacent ATC Lasham property, supported a reduction. The tribunal adopted £100 per m² for the main space and £235 per car parking space, reducing the RV from £560,000 to £505,000 with effect from 1 May 2019.
