What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued for a Zone A price of £610 per m² based on rental evidence from 18 Tranquil Vale and 14 Montpelier Vale, whereas the rating list adopted £830 per m². The tribunal found that the rental transaction at 18 Tranquil Vale lacked proper arm's length evidence and should be treated with caution, and that the tribunal's analysis of 14 Montpelier Vale supported the Valuation Officer's position. The tribunal concluded the adopted price of £830 per m² was reasonable and was supported by comparable rental evidence.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was PETS CORNER (UK) LTD, represented.
