What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the subject property from the 2017 rating list, contending that comprehensive redevelopment works commenced on 10 January 2022 rendered it incapable of beneficial occupation. The tribunal found that insufficient evidence had been presented to establish the nature and extent of the works, and that the approximately 10-week duration was more consistent with works to accommodate an incoming occupier rather than fundamental reconstruction. Accordingly, the tribunal determined that the hereditament had not ceased to exist and the appeal was dismissed.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Tesla Motors Ltd, represented.
