What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the £45,250 RV, seeking reduction to £37,000 on grounds that the unadjusted rate (UAR) for three survey units was excessive and an end allowance for heating/insulation should be reinstated from the 2017 list. The tribunal found the original UAR of £26.50/m² excessive and reduced it to £21/m² for units 1 and 2, reflecting their attributes more fairly, while finding no justification for reinstatement of the end allowance as these disabilities were adequately reflected in the relativities applied. The tribunal reduced the assessment to £40,250 RV.
