What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of the property from the rating list on the grounds that it is exempt as domestic property used for storage of personal belongings. The tribunal found that the appeal property met the definition in section 66(1)(d) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 as private storage premises used wholly or mainly for storage of articles of domestic use. The tribunal concluded that there is no legal requirement for regular or frequent use of stored items, and that the wording 'of domestic use' means items are of a domestic nature (such as furniture, clothing, and artwork) rather than requiring active use in a dwelling. The appeal was allowed and the property was deleted from the rating list with effect from 1 April 2017.
