What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction to £252,500 RV based on a tone of £33.50/m² and an increased end allowance of 7.5% for poor access, arguing that comparable assessments within the same valuation scheme showed rental reductions between 2010 and 2017 rating lists. The tribunal found the valuation officer's comparable settlement evidence more persuasive, particularly Univeg Katope Ltd which supported a base price of £35.75/m² for similar age and size industrial properties in the locality, and considered the existing 5% access allowance adequate.
