What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant proposed a reduction in rateable value to £15,000 with effect from 29 September 2018, arguing that retail properties in the area had become vacant and rents had fallen. The Valuation Officer contended the proposal was invalid because the grounds cited (vacancy and rental decline) were not valid reasons for making a proposal under the Non-Domestic (Alteration of Lists and Appeals) Regulations 2005. The tribunal dismissed the appeal as invalid, holding that the Valuation Officer was correct and that the tribunal had no discretion in such matters.
