What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant contended that digital advertising displays at bus shelters should be valued using the VOA's static scheme without any uplift for the digital mechanism, arguing that the digital aspect was not part of the rateable hereditament under section 64(11) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988. The tribunal found that while digital advertising displays were indeed more valuable than static displays, the VO's uplift of six times was excessive and unsubstantiated. The tribunal allowed the appeals in part, determining that a multiplier of three applied to the base rates for static bus shelter roadside displays was fair and reasonable to reflect the enhanced value of digital displays.
