BT INLINK O/S 199 NEWINGTON CAUSEWAY, SE1 8BN

What was argued and what the tribunal found

BT appealed for deletion of the advertising right hereditament, arguing that the right to use screens for advertising is not a right to use land within section 64(11) of the 1988 Act, as screens are plant not land or structure. The tribunal rejected this argument, finding that the StreetHub structure falls within the definition of land as "a sign, hoarding, frame, post or other structure erected on land," and that the definition is not exhaustive such that it can apply to parts of such structures. The appeal was dismissed and the assessment remains in the rating list at £6,600.
