What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the £16,000 RV, arguing that a price of £75/m2 resulting in £12,500 was fair and reasonable based on comparable rental evidence from Unit 9 at Henfield Business Park, which analysed to £81.83/m2. The tribunal found this comparable rental evidence persuasive and determined that £75/m2 was fair and reasonable for the appeal property, reducing the RV to £12,500.
