What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the effective date of car parking spaces entering the 2017 rating list, arguing for 31 October 2022 (when the single hereditament was split) or alternatively 24 January 2022 (when the car park first entered as a single hereditament). The tribunal found that regulation 14(1B) enabled the valuation officer to make retrospective alterations to correct inaccuracies. Since the car parking spaces existed before 1 April 2017, the tribunal determined the correct effective date was 1 April 2017, the start of the 2017 list, and dismissed the appeals.
