What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the main rate should be £90/m² rather than the VO's £100/m², relying on comparable properties (Currys at £90/m² and The Range at £90/m²) on nearby retail parks. The tribunal found that a tone of £90/m² had been established for retail warehouses in the vicinity, and that the subject property's disadvantage as a standalone property (compared to those on retail parks) was reflected in this rate. The appeal was allowed with the RV revised to £168,000.
