What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants challenged the original rateable value of £106,000 (Unit 1) at £250 per m2, seeking a reduction to £175 per m2 based on arguments that comparable properties at Foundation Park demonstrated the subject properties were over-valued. The tribunal found that while the Foundation Park comparables demonstrated the £250 per m2 was unreasonable, the £175 per m2 sought was not fully supported by the totality of evidence. The tribunal determined a middle ground of £225 per m2 was reasonable, allowing the appeals in part.
