What was argued and what the tribunal found

BT appealed seeking deletion of the advertising right hereditament entered in the 2017 rating list, arguing that the right to use digital screens for advertising does not constitute a right to use land as defined in section 64(11) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, and that the screens are plant rather than land or a structure. The tribunal rejected this argument, finding that the StreetHub structure falls within the statutory definition of land as a structure erected on land, and that the use of "includes" in the statutory definition meant it could apply to part of such a structure. The appeal was dismissed and the hereditament remains in the rating list at £6,600.
