What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the property was incapable of rateable occupation due to physical obstructions to access and lack of services, seeking a reduction to £0 RV. The tribunal found that the subject property was capable of rateable occupation as the appellant held a legal right of way (enforceable through court) that specifically included use as a car park, and therefore the RV of £14,250 remained reasonable.
