We are only referring to information which has been requested. If the Valuations Office estimates a valuation because no data has been provided, the appellant will be able to provide that data at appeals stage. It refers to people who have been asked for information but did not provide it. It does not refer to anything else at appeals stage. The ratepayer still has the opportunity to provide that information through the representation process. We have extended the period of representation to 40 days and right up to the issuing of the certificate. People do not have the option under this amendment to then produce information they had at that stage.
