What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the Valuation Officer's placement of an advertising board at location tier 2, position B. The appellant argued that the board should be placed in tier 4 position C due to its poor visibility, low position on the road, and location in a quieter non-urban area. The tribunal accepted the appellant's evidence based on photographs and mapping, finding that the property was more akin to a quieter route, and that the board's poor impact and short range display warranted tier 4 band C placement. The tribunal determined the RV of £425 aligned with rental evidence passing on the hereditament.
