What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the subject properties should be assessed at an unadjusted rate of £85/m² based on comparable properties on the same industrial estate with lower rates. The tribunal found that the Valuation Officer had demonstrated a settled tone of £87/m² for smaller units on the same estate, with particular weight given to Unit 15 which had a lease commencing on the antecedent valuation date with a rent analysing to £88.02/m². The tribunal dismissed the appeals and confirmed the rateable values at £87/m².
