What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant appealed a completion notice dated 21 November 2023 with a completion date of 21 February 2024, contending that outstanding works including water ingress remediation and cooling system relocation could not be completed within the three-month statutory period and seeking a date in March 2025. The tribunal found that the property was substantially fitted out with only minor works remaining, and that both the water ingress problem and the planning/relocation issue for the cooling system could reasonably have been completed within the three months allowed by the notice, even though the works had not been completed by the hearing date. The appeal was dismissed and the completion date of 21 February 2024 was confirmed.
