What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £49,750 (zone A rate of £850/m²) and proposed £36,750 (£630/m²), relying primarily on a rent at 70 Westbourne Grove agreed at £631/m² shortly after the AVD. The respondent defended the existing assessment with three comparable rents from the same parade, all analysed within a range supporting the £850/m² tone. The tribunal found the rental evidence basket ranging from £631–£1411/m² did not indicate the £850/m² zone A rate was excessive, and dismissed the appeal.
