Why have you referred to both LGFA 1992 and 1988?
CT also uses part of the LGFA 1988 as this is where the definition of domestic property is held. I have also complied with LGFA 1988 during my time on NDR
Talk me through Newbigin v Monk
This was a NDR case on an office which was undergoing development. VO originally stated it was a repair issue. Case went between appeal courts until reaching the supreme court where it was determined the works rendered the property incapable of beneficial occupation and should be removed from the rating list.
Talk me through Domblides v Listing Officer
This was a CT appeal where the concept of tone of the list was introduced into CT.
What does LGFA 1992 Section 3(3) say?
Defines what a composite dwelling is - A property with domestic and non-domestic parts.
How do you value a composite dwelling?
Value should be the relevant amount which can be attributed to domestic use.
How to you reach the relevant amount for CT?
I looked a farm sales as a whole then land and outbuilding sales separately to reach the value of those items. Removing them from the total farm sale left the relevant amount for domestic use.
