What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (BT) sought deletion of an advertising right hereditament for a StreetHub unit, arguing the right to use digital screens for advertising is not a right to use 'land' within section 64(11) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, as the screens are plant rather than land or structure. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the StreetHub structure falls within the statutory definition of land, which includes 'a sign, hoarding, frame, post or other structure', and that the word 'includes' indicates the definition is not exhaustive and can apply to part of such a structure.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was British Telecommunications Plc, represented.
