What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Zone A price per m² should be £610 per m² based on rental evidence from 18 Tranquil Vale and 14 Montpelier Vale, whereas the Valuation Officer defended the adopted price of £830 per m². The tribunal found that the 18 Tranquil Vale transaction should be treated with caution as it was questioned whether it was an arm's length deal, and the tribunal preferred the VO's analysis of 14 Montpelier Vale over the appellant's. The tribunal concluded that the appellant had failed to demonstrate that the adopted price of £830 per m² was excessive, and therefore dismissed the appeals.
