What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £13,500 (later reduced to £13,000 by the VO), proposing an unadjusted rate of £85/m2 instead of the £115/m2 adopted. The tribunal found the evidence of comparable rents, particularly 55 The Tannery (also at £115/m2 unadjusted), supported the current valuation and dismissed the appeal, confirming the RV at £13,000.
