What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to reduce the RV from £435,000 (£156 per m²) to £380,000 (£140 per m²), arguing the subject property measured 2,864.9m² and citing three comparable properties. The tribunal found the property measured 2,943.63m², as agreed in the 2010 list, and concluded that the three comparables were too small and geographically dispersed to provide reliable evidence for a property of approximately 3,000m². The appellant failed to meet the evidential burden to show the listed RV was unreasonable, so the appeal was dismissed.
