What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of three hereditaments that had been demolished or removed from site in 2013-2014, arguing they should not have remained in the 2010 rating list until 1 April 2015. The tribunal found the proposal invalid because it was served on 10 January 2019, which was after the statutory time period of 31 March 2017 for making such proposals. Consequently, the tribunal was unable to consider the substantive merits and struck the appeal out on this preliminary issue.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Kent Food Parks Ltd, represented.
