What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the Zone A price of £875 per m² was excessive and proposed £650 per m², seeking an RV of £37,000 based on comparable properties with lower Zone A values. The Valuation Officer proposed a revised RV of £44,250 using a Zone A price of £780 per m², applying a reduction from the base rate to reflect the property's location further back from the main street and correct floor area measurements. The tribunal found the Valuation Officer's proposed rate reasonable and allowed the appeal in part, adopting the £780 per m² figure.
