AGGREGATION of DWELLINGS in MULTIPLE OCCUPATION

May 22nd, 2024 by James Goudie KC

In R ( HOWARD GARDENS MANCO LTD ) v FORMELA OSBORNE ( LISTING OFFICER ) ( 2024 ) EWHC 1112 ( Admin ) it is held that a council tax listing officer’s decision pursuant to the Local Government Finance Act 1992 to list each en suite bedroom in shared student accommodation flats in Cardiff separately, rather than to treat them as a single dwelling, was lawful. She had followed the Valuation Office Agency policy on aggregation of dwellings in multiple occupation, and had provided reasons justifying a departure from it.
