What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £243,000, arguing for an adopted rate of £72.50 per m² which would result in £189,000. The tribunal examined comparable evidence from nearby units at Horton Industrial Park, Zodiac Business Park, and 520 Stone Close. While accepting that 520 Stone Close at £72.50 per m² was at the lower end of the evidence range, the tribunal determined that a rate of £85 per m² was more reasonable based on the basket of comparable settlements, reducing the RV to £219,000.
