What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that no allowance for quantum had been made when the appeal property's units were valued separately, and sought a reduction to £30/m². The tribunal found the original unadjusted rate of £39/m² was excessive but rejected the proposed £30/m² as unsupported by evidence. Having regard to comparable industrial properties of similar age and size assessed at £33/m², the tribunal determined that a reduction to £33/m² was fair and reasonable, allowing the appeals in part.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Huhtamaki BCP Ltd, represented.
