What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, represented by a surveyor, challenged the 2023 list RV of £31,750 (£40/m²), proposing £24,250 (£30/m²) based on three combined comparable properties negotiated as a single lease. The Valuation Officer maintained the assessment was fair and reasonable, applying a base rate within the scheme for industrial properties at the estate. The tribunal found that the appellant's comparables, being of different types and requiring significant adjustment, carried less weight than the Valuation Officer's evidence and confirmed the existing assessment at £31,750.
