What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the base rate should be reduced from £32.50/m² to £27.50/m² to align with comparable properties, relying on rental evidence from Unit 3B Holloway Drive. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant's comparable property was an industrial building more than twice the size and located 3 miles away, therefore not comparable. The tribunal gave significant weight to A & B Motors adjacent to the appeal property and Unit 3B Barlow Street, both supporting a base rate of £32.50/m².
