What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the Zone A value of £400/m² was excessive and sought a reduction from £12,000 to £7,000, arguing that the subject property was disadvantaged compared to properties lower on Newton Road due to lack of parking and proximity to Mumbles Road. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant had not presented evidence of sufficient quality to show that the £400/m² Zone A value applied to Newton Road was incorrect, and noting that other properties on the road had accepted this valuation level. The tribunal gave weight to the passing rent evidence and found no basis to support the proposed reduction.
