What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to have a vineyard property with a cabin added to the 2017 rating list, arguing that business use (retail, storage, office, wine sales) exceeded the de minimis threshold. The Valuation Officer resisted, arguing the cabin remained primarily domestic despite some business use. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the property had not been constructed or adapted for business use, lacked retail characteristics, and the non-domestic use was genuinely de minimis with domestic use remaining dominant.
