What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought exemption from rating for a former paintball site used as farm buildings, arguing it qualified as an agricultural building under Schedule 5 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988. The tribunal found the property was in a derelict state with no genuine agricultural use established, and did not meet the requirements for agricultural exemption. The appeal was dismissed and the property remained on the rating list at RV £12,500.
