What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of the warehouse and office property from the 2017 rating list on grounds that it was uneconomic to repair at the material date (26 March 2021), arguing it was damaged by vandalism during COVID lockdown and was earmarked for demolition after planning permission was granted for residential redevelopment. The tribunal found that the estimated repair costs of £61,800 for the warehouse were economic when measured against the rateable value of £70,500-£85,500 (less than one year's rent), and no evidence of actual works or deterioration was provided at the material date. The appeal was dismissed as the property was not demonstrated to be beyond economic repair on the material day.
