What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the subject warehouse property from the 2023 rating list effective from 5 August 2024, arguing it was undergoing material refurbishment works. The Valuation Officer initially resisted but subsequently agreed to delete the property, though sought a temporary deletion order ending on 5 December 2024 when building control signed off the works. The tribunal allowed the appeal and ordered deletion effective from 5 August 2024 without a time limit, finding that although the works had substantially progressed, the property was not 100% complete (lacking small power, staff welfare facilities, racking, fire alarm and partitioning) and therefore could not be reinstated under Regulation 38(7) until fully complete and ready for occupation.
