What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the four industrial properties in Luton should be reduced from an adopted unadjusted rate of £85/m² to £80/m², relying primarily on rental evidence from Unit 9F Leagrave Road and an agreed reduction at Unit 8 Barratt Industrial Park. The tribunal found that the appellant's comparable evidence either related to different valuation schemes, different property categories, or did not provide sufficient support for reducing the scheme tone. The tribunal accepted the Valuation Officer's rental evidence for directly comparable properties within the same scheme and size range, which supported values at or around £85/m², and dismissed all four appeals.
