What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, which owned and occupied both properties in the same curtilage, sought to merge two separate rating assessments into one with a reduced rate of £32.50/m2. The tribunal found that the properties should remain as separate entries because they were capable of separate letting, occupied by separate legal entities with independent operations, and had clear physical separation with several access points. The tribunal noted that the appellant's representatives failed to submit evidence supporting the proposed reduction in rate per m2 and relied solely on the previous rate prior to the split.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Datum Contracts Hoddesdon Ltd, represented.
