What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the £/m² should be reduced from £75 to £65 (maintaining the 2010 list rate), citing stagnant used car market conditions and lack of demand in secondary locations. The tribunal found that rental evidence demonstrated market recovery and growth between 2010 and 2017, comparable assessments supported a £70/m² rate, and basing the assessment solely on the 2010 entry was inappropriate; accordingly, the tribunal dismissed the appeals and confirmed the VO's reduced rate of £70/m² as reasonable.
