What was argued and what the tribunal found
Portsmouth City Council sought deletion of two parking space assessments from the rating list, arguing they were domestic property forming part of the curtilage of residential flats. The tribunal rejected this argument, finding that the parking spaces were not appurtenances to the residential properties because they could be licensed to anyone (including non-residents living outside a 15-minute walk) with no automatic right to residents of the flats, and the council had deliberately separated the parking from the flats. The spaces were correctly treated as non-domestic hereditaments.
