What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the adopted price of £55 per m² was excessive, proposing £52.50 per m² based on settlements for comparable distribution warehouses across the Midlands region. The tribunal found that the subject rent (£1,287,960 per annum, effective from the antecedent valuation date of 1 April 2015) analysed at £62.17 per m² provided strong evidence supporting the adopted price, supported by comparable local rents at Unit 8 Castle Mound (£58.18 per m²). The tribunal dismissed the appeal as the appellant failed to provide compelling evidence that the adopted price of £55 per m² was excessive.
