What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (BT) sought deletion of an advertising right hereditament for a StreetHub digital display unit, arguing the right to use screens for advertising is not a right to use 'land' as defined by section 64(11) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, since screens are plant, not land or structures. The tribunal found that the StreetHub is a structure falling within the definition of land, including signs or other structures, and that the extended definition of 'land' in section 64(11) reasonably applies to part of a sign, hoarding or structure. The appeal was therefore dismissed and the hereditament remains in the rating list at £6,600.
