The taxpayer appealed a decision that a conversion of a non-residential part of a building used for business and residential purposes was not exempt from VAT.
Held: The building was not within the definition of a self contained residential building. If separate parts could be buildings, no part would satisfy the definition of a building designed as a building. Appeal dismissed.
