What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the £236,000 RV entry, proposing £127,000 (later revised to £153,000, then further revised by withdrawal of the planning restriction allowance). The tribunal found that the price for Survey Unit 2 at £21.50 per m2 was excessive and reduced it to £16 per m2, but upheld the prices for Survey Units 1 (£35 per m2) and 3 (£29 per m2). The tribunal rejected the further 7.5% end allowance for split/divided site. The appeal was allowed in part, with the RV determined at £196,000.
