What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rate adopted for the factory at £53.50/m² was excessive and sought a reduction to £42.50/m², supported by rental evidence showing analysed rents of £45.28/m² in 2017 and comparable properties. The tribunal found the rental evidence and comparables convincing but considered the appellant's proposed rate too low when considering the wider basket of rents; it reduced the rate to £51.00/m², resulting in a revised RV of £47,500, allowing the appeal in part.
