Berrill (trading as Cobweb Antiques) v Hill (VO)
- 2000
- Rating Appeals [2000] RA 194-204(6) .
LT 2 February 2000. Ratepayer (B) appealed against the VO's 30% reduction for the effects of Tramlink construction works in Croydon on the grounds that the reduction was too low. The VO claimed that a 30% reduction had been universally accepted throughout Church Street. The LT upheld the VO's 30% reduction on the grounds that B had not discharged the burden proving that the valuation tribunal decision was wrong. The evidence of other properties assessed at the same reduction but less adversely affected by the works could not be used to justify a further reduction. Appeal dismissed.
