What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the valuation of bus storage land at Heathrow, arguing it should be valued at £15/m² for hard surface and £10/m² for rough surface (totalling £55,000), rather than the £32/m² all-hard-surface valuation (£155,000) in the list. The tribunal found the subject property was adjacent to, not on, the airport, making airport-located comparables less relevant, and accepted the appellant's evidence showing rough surface to the rear of the property. The tribunal valued hard surface at £16.50/m² and rough surface at £11.05/m² (33% discount), resulting in an RV of £60,000.
