What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the VO's initial assessment of £492,500 for a car showroom in Basingstoke, proposing £305,000 based on a tone of £120 per m2. At the hearing, the parties reached a verbal agreement to alter the entry to £482,500 with effect from 1 April 2023, which the tribunal ratified as it was satisfied the original assessment was excessive.
