What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that warehouses valued at £110/m² were excessive, citing smaller comparable properties valued at £90–£100/m² and arguing that proximity to Heathrow traffic reduced value. The tribunal found the VO's comparable properties of similar size and location more persuasive, particularly those at £130/m² adjacent to the airport, and concluded that £110/m² was reasonable given the subject units were only two miles away and located in a strong logistics market.
