What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the property from the 2023 rating list arguing that extensive works costing £92,000, including stripping electrical and lighting systems and demolishing a mezzanine, rendered it incapable of beneficial occupation. The tribunal found that the works were repair and refurbishment rather than redevelopment, and were not as extensive as in comparable leading cases; therefore, under the statutory repair assumption, the property should remain capable of beneficial occupation and was properly in the list.
