What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the property from the rating list on grounds that redevelopment works rendered it incapable of beneficial occupation between October 2022 and January 2023. The Valuation Officer agreed to reduce the rateable value to nil but proposed a temporary reduction rather than outright deletion. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, confirming the reduction to nil rateable value for the temporary period of 17 October 2022 to 11 January 2023 only, exercising its discretionary power under regulation 38(7) to time-limit the alteration to the duration of the circumstances justifying it.
