What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the property was valued using the wrong scheme and sought reduction from £30.00/m² to £26.00/m² using comparable properties in different locations that had lower valuations. The tribunal preferred the Valuation Officer's comparable properties on the same industrial estate with similar characteristics, all valued at or near £30.00/m², and found the £30.00/m² rate was not unreasonable.
