What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that four industrial properties in Luton should be reduced from the adopted unadjusted rate of £85/m² to £80/m², relying on rental evidence including Unit 9F Leagrave Road (at £70.21/m²) and the agreed settlement of Unit 8 Barratt Industrial Park (reduced to £80/m²). The tribunal found that the comparable evidence either related to different valuation schemes, different property categories, or did not support reducing the scheme tone, and accepted the Valuation Officer's evidence that properties of similar type and size within the scheme were valued at or around £85/m². The appeals were dismissed.
