What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought reduction to £23 per m² for older sections and £27 per m² for newer sections with a 10% split allowance, arguing the passing rent since 2004 was unreliable and rental evidence supported lower values with greater disadvantage for the fragmented layout. The Valuation Officer sought £32 per m² for older and £37 per m² for newer sections with a 5% allowance, relying on settled comparables Diamond Works and Hayes Trading Estate. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, adopting £27 per m² for older sections and £32 per m² for newer sections with a 7.5% allowance, finding the settled comparables most reliable but accounting for quantum differences and accepting that the four disconnected sections warranted a higher allowance than 5% but less than the 10% sought.
