What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that actual rents from 2013 and 2016 demonstrated the assessment of £16,500 (£52.50/m2) was excessive, proposing instead £14,750 (£48.86/m2). The tribunal found the 2013 rent terms too far removed from the statutory definition and gave it little weight. After considering comparable evidence from other units in the same trade park, the tribunal concluded the main space rate of £52.50/m2 was not unreasonable and the appellant had failed to demonstrate the RV was excessive.
