What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction to £1 RV arguing the laboratory building, formerly part of a quarry operation, was not capable of beneficial occupation as planning permission had expired, access was unavailable, and the property could not be used legally. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the property was capable of beneficial occupation as a separate hereditament, planning permission for similar use was obtainable, and the appellant had not proven the absence of access rights or that no rental market existed for such properties.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Laver Leisure (Oakamoor) Limited, represented.
