What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged a single rating entry for car parking spaces, arguing the property should be divided into 12 separate hereditaments. The Valuation Officer and appellant's representative agreed on division into 19 hereditaments based on Woolway v Mazars principles, reflecting the non-contiguous nature of the parking spaces. The tribunal allowed the appeal and ordered the list to be altered to create 19 separate rateable hereditaments effective from 19 March 2018, with a combined rateable value of £51,300.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was HBA KAAS CRE1 Limited, represented.
