What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, the landlord of the car park, challenged the effective date of 204 car parking space hereditaments entering the 2017 rating list, arguing they should have effect from 31 October 2022 (when the single hereditament was split) or alternatively 24 January 2022 (when the single hereditament first entered). The tribunal found that the car parking spaces existed before 1 April 2017 and remained under the appellant's control throughout. In correcting the valuation officer's initial error (misidentifying the spaces as a single hereditament), regulation 14(1B) required the effective date to be when the circumstances giving rise to the alteration first occurred. Since the spaces existed before the 2017 list began, the correct effective date was 1 April 2017.
