What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property should be split into four separate hereditaments, each held by a different company under separate leases dating from July 2015. The Tribunal found that four separate corporate entities each held valid leases for identifiable areas, establishing four distinct hereditaments. The Tribunal also determined that the warehouse structure was temporary (supported by air, moved throughout the year, dismantled in half a day) and therefore not rateable. The appeal was allowed and the single £40,000 assessment was replaced with four separate valuations.
