What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the assessment of £272,500 RV (£170 per m²) was unreasonable and proposed £185,000 (£115 per m²). The tribunal found that whilst rental evidence from the subject property showed £189 per m², and a comparable adjoining unit showed £113 per m², the tribunal determined the appropriate rate lay between these figures. Taking all evidence into account including comparable assessments on nearby retail parks, the tribunal allowed the appeal in part, determining a price per m² of £150 (resulting in £241,000 RV), as the current assessment was unreasonable.
