What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the original RV of £216,000 based on a rate of £43.98 per m² was excessive, proposing £98,000 at £20 per m². The tribunal reviewed comparable rental evidence including Offshore Stainless Supplies and properties on Birchbrook Industrial Estate, finding the original rate was unreasonably high. The tribunal determined a fair base rate of £30 per m² was appropriate, reducing the RV to £147,000, as the appellant's proposed rate was too low and the original valuation did not properly reflect the rental evidence available.
