What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to merge two separately assessed hereditaments (factory and offices) at Stubbins Vale Mills into a single assessment. The two properties were separated by a public road but connected by a canopy containing a sprinkler system benefiting both buildings. The tribunal found that the geographic test under Mazars was satisfied because the properties were contiguous and had intercommunication via the canopy's water pipes serving the fire protection system in both buildings. The tribunal determined that the merged property should be valued at £112,000 RV with effect from 15 February 2021, allowing the appeal.
