 Parks and Non-Domestic Rating
The Brockwell Park Case related to a park acquired under a Local Act which required the County Council to lay out the park and to maintain it for the perpetual use of the public for exercise and recreation.
The House of Lords held that the occupation by the public could not be rateable and the County Council were not in occupation but were merely acting as custodians or trustees of the park for the use by the public.
(3) The exemption extends to premises within the park which are occupied for purposes necessarily ancillary to the use of the park by the public, and to premises or installations which are used for a purpose which is solely to enhance the attractiveness of the park as a park to the public.
