What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the property from the rating list, arguing it was incapable of beneficial occupation due to an ongoing scheme of refurbishment works that involved reconfiguration and conversion to a different use. The appellant relied on Newbigin v Monk and Jackson v Canary Warf. The Valuation Officer agreed that the property had been wrongly re-entered on 19 September 2022 when it was incapable of beneficial occupation. The tribunal ordered the rateable value reduced to £0 for the period 19 September 2022 to 19 February 2023 (when the property became capable of occupation as a restaurant), with effect being reinstated at £75,000 thereafter.
