What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of the property from the 2017 rating list with effect from 14 November 2022, arguing that works undertaken rendered it incapable of beneficial occupation. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding as an objective matter of fact that the property remained capable of beneficial occupation on the material day. The tribunal noted that the property's condition on the material day was significantly different to the severely stripped properties in Monk and Canary Wharf, with only external signage works commenced and the warehouse structure remaining intact.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Leonard F Jollye (Brookmans Park) Ltd, represented.
