What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of floor 3 of the property, which was undergoing extensive building works involving removal of internal structures and systems that rendered it incapable of beneficial occupation. The Valuation Officer and appellant agreed a temporary reduction in RV to £0 from 2 August 2021 to 16 December 2021, with the pre-existing RV of £626,000 to be reinstated from 17 December 2021. The tribunal confirmed this agreed alteration under Regulation 34(6), allowing the appeal in part for the specified period.
