What was argued and what the tribunal found

BT appealed to delete an advertising right hereditament for a StreetHub digital display unit from the 2017 rating list, arguing that the screens constitute plant rather than land and do not fall within section 64(11) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988. The tribunal found that the StreetHub structure constitutes "land" as defined in section 64(11), including "a sign, hoarding, frame, post or other structure erected or to be erected on land," and that the right to use the screens for advertising is a right to use land. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed and the RV of £6,600 remained unchanged.
