What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that the property had been incorrectly placed in valuation scheme 421390 (large distribution warehouses) and proposed a price of £45 per m2 (RV £285,000), arguing that the original £55 per m2 valuation was excessive. The tribunal found that the property was appropriately placed in the scheme as a large modern warehouse with adequate eaves height, that the scheme description permitted large modern production facilities beyond pure distribution warehouses, and that the appellant provided no rental or comparable evidence to support the lower figure. The tribunal confirmed the original RV of £327,500.
