What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the Zone A price per m² should be £3,500 rather than £4,400, citing the subject property's isolated position at the top of Sloane Street and unusual frontage which they claimed reduced visibility and footfall. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the current Zone A rate of £4,400 per m² was reasonable based on comparable rental evidence from similar properties on the same street, particularly rentals from 150 and 157-158 Sloane Street which supported the existing tone.
