What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of a vehicle repair workshop from the 2017 rating list, arguing it was incapable of beneficial occupation due to disrepair (no electricity, water, sewerage problems, holes in roof). The tribunal found that while the property was in disrepair, it had not been rendered uninhabitable, and the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence that reasonable repairs could not be undertaken. Applying Newbigin v Monk, the tribunal concluded the property remained a hereditament to be valued under the statutory repair assumptions and dismissed the appeal.
