What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a quarry operator, argued for a 25% allowance on all royalties under the Hybrid Contractors Basis valuation, citing an imbalance in bargaining power similar to that recognised in the Arc Limited case. The tribunal found that the royalty levels had not been raised in the proposal and that the 12.5% allowance already applied by the valuation officer was reasonable, having been previously agreed for the 2010 list. The panel also upheld the inclusion of a Portaloo on site as rateable plant and machinery, finding it to be a permanent structure. Appeal dismissed; rateable value confirmed at £14,000 from 1 April 2017.
