What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought merger of two separate hereditaments (factory and offices) divided by a public road but connected by a canopy housing a sprinkler system. The tribunal held that the geographic test under Mazars was met: the buildings were contiguous with intercommunication via the sprinkler pipes serving both buildings, and the canopy already formed part of the factory assessment. The tribunal allowed the appeal and determined a single valuation of £112,000 RV for the merged hereditament with effect from 15 February 2021, based on an agreed unadjusted rate of £9.00/m² with a 10% split site allowance and 5% access allowance.
