What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that rough surfaced land should be valued at 50% of the hard surfaced land price (£2.63/m²), supported by comparable assessments. The tribunal found that while rough surfaced land is inherently of lower value, a 50% differential was not justified. The tribunal determined that £3.94/m² (25% reduction to hard surfaced price) was reasonable, reflecting the inferior quality and drainage issues of the rough surface while accounting for good utility and ease of access through the hard surfaced areas.
