What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, Tenneco Walker Ltd, proposed to merge two warehouse properties in common occupation (Walkers and Portfolio Resources) to form a single assessment with RV of £440,000, relying on the Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Act 2018. The tribunal found that although the properties were contiguous and used for the same purpose, they were interconnected (via a gate between yards) at the material date of 26 August 2016, meaning a merger could have been proposed before the 2010 list closed on 31 March 2017. Therefore, the proposal was not a "relevant proposal" under the amended regulations and was made out of time. The appeal was dismissed.
