What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the base rate of £115 per m² was excessive and should be reduced to £100 per m² to match the comparable property at 125-141 Promenade, which was located next door. The appellant contended that the tone was set by location with no quantum allowances within the scheme. The tribunal found that the comparable property's lower base rate of £100 per m² was justified by quantum allowances reflecting the property's larger size, and that the appellant had not proven the subject property's rate was excessive when compared to the rental figures of other comparable properties. The appeal was dismissed.
