Local Government Act 1966

18 Application of s. 17 to proposals since 2nd December 1965.

(1) Where a proposal for the alteration of a valuation list in respect of any hereditament has been served on or made by the valuation officer after 2nd December 1965 and before the passing of this Act, and has not been settled before the passing of this Act, section 17 of this Act shall apply to the proposal as it applies to a proposal served or made after the passing of this Act.

(2) Where any such proposal has been served or made as aforesaid after the said date and has been settled before the passing of this Act, then if—

(a) a further proposal for the alteration of the valuation list in respect of the hereditament is served or made before the end of March 1967 ; and

(b) that further proposal is expressed to be made on the ground only that the value or altered value determined pursuant to the original proposal exceeds that which would have been so determined if section 17 of this Act had applied to it,

the said section 17 shall apply to the further proposal as if for references to the time of valuation there were substituted references to the time of valuation for the purposes of the original proposal; and any alteration made in the valuation list in respect of the hereditament in pursuance of the further proposal shall have effect for the purposes of the enactments relating to rating and valuation as if the further proposal had been served or made immediately after the original proposal.

(3) Where a further proposal for the alteration of the valuation list in respect of a hereditament has been served on the valuation officer by any other person within the time specified in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section, not being a proposal expressed to be made on the ground specified in paragraph (b) of that subsection, that person may, either before or within one month after the further proposal has been settled, give notice in writing to the valuation officer of his intention to make a further proposal in respect of the hereditament on that ground; and where such notice is given, any such further proposal made by that person which—

(a) is expressed to be made on that ground only ; and

(b) is served within one month after the service of the notice,

shall be treated for the purposes of the said subsection (2) as if it had been served within the time specified in paragraph (a) of that subsection.
