15: Clause 10, page 19, leave out lines 4 and 5 and insert—
“(2) V must disclose the information to P without delay if requested by P.”
Member's explanatory statement
This adds an obligation on the Valuation Office Agency to reveal their rental comparables/evidence used in arriving at a Rateable Value when challenged in the interests of transparency. This may satisfy ratepayer concerns at fairness early in the process and reduce the numbers resorting to appeal.
