What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the unadjusted rates (UAR) of £50.00/m² for both properties were excessive and should be reduced to £43.00/m² and £44.00/m² respectively. The appellant relied on comparable property evidence, rental evidence, and arguments that the current valuation scheme was inappropriate given the diverse properties included. The tribunal found that comparable property evidence supported the existing assessments, particularly Unit 1 The Links which showed a rent of £50.11/m² analysing to a UAR of £50.00/m². The tribunal dismissed both appeals as the appellant had not evidentially demonstrated that the rateable values were excessive.
