Information in local rating lists 2 In respect of each hereditament shown in a list the list shall contain the following information:– a a description of the hereditament; b its address; and c any reference number ascribed to it by the valuation officer. 3 In respect of any alteration directed to be made by a tribunal, the list shall state whether the direction was given by a valuation and community charge tribunal or the Lands Tribunal. 4 A list shall show on any day in which it is in force the total of rateable values shown in the list in accordance with section 42(4) of the Act. Valuation of mines and quarries 5 1 This regulation applies to any hereditament– a which consists of or includes a mine or quarry; or b the whole or part of which is occupied together with a mine or quarry in connection with the storage or removal of its minerals or its refuse. 2 In arriving, under paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 6 to the Act, at an amount of estimated rent in relation to such part of any hereditament to which these Regulations apply as consists of land occupied for the purpose of the winning and working, grading, washing, grinding and crushing of minerals, no account shall be taken of sums payable in respect of the extraction of minerals from such land in so far as such sums are attributable to the capital value of minerals extracted; and in applying the provisions of sub-paragraphs (1) to (7) of that paragraph in relation to such a hereditament, it shall be assumed that the proportion of such sums attributable to the capital value of such minerals is 50 per cent. 3 In this regulation “land” does not include buildings, structures, roads, shafts, adits or other works; and unless the context otherwise requires, expressions used in this regulation and in regulation 6 which are also used in the Mines and Quarries Act 1954 have the same meanings as in that Act. Cross-boundary property 6 1 This regulation applies to any unit of property (“relevant property”) which by virtue of section 64(1) of the Act comprises separate hereditaments solely by reason of being divided by a boundary between charging authorities. 2 Relevant property shall be treated as one hereditament and, subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), as situated throughout any relevant period in the area of the charging authority in whose area is situated that part of the property which would but for this regulation be the hereditament appearing to the relevant valuation officer or officers to have, on the relevant day, the greater or (as the case may be) the greatest rateable value. 3 Relevant property which on the relevant day includes any land falling to be valued as provided in regulation 5(2) shall be treated as situated throughout any relevant period in the area of the charging authority in whose area is situated the part of the property (disregarding any land which falls to be so valued) which would but for this regulation be the hereditament appearing to the relevant valuation officer or officers to have, on the relevant day, the greater or (as the case may be) the greatest rateable value. 4 Relevant property which on the relevant day consists exclusively of land falling to be valued as provided in regulation 5(2) shall be treated throughout any relevant period as situated in the area of the charging authority determined by lot by the relevant valuation officer or officers. 5 Where for the purposes of paragraph (2) or (3) the rateable values of the parts of the relevant property appear to the relevant valuation officer or officers to be equal, or where there is more than one relevant valuation officer and those officers do not agree as to which value is greater or the greatest, the charging authority in whose area the hereditament is to be treated as situated shall be determined by lot by that officer or officers. 6 In this regulation– “relevant day” means a day on which a local rating list must be compiled or, where the hereditament referred to in paragraph (2) would first fall to be shown in such a list for any day later than the day on which such a list must be compiled, the day on which it would first so fall to be shown; “relevant period” means the period beginning with the relevant day and ending when a new local rating list is compiled; and “relevant valuation officer” means the valuation officer for a charging authority within whose area any part of the relevant property is situated.
