What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged a completion notice dated 22 October 2024 issued by the billing authority for two holiday lodges. The tribunal found no evidence that the lodges were complete on that date. The photographs submitted by the BA were not of the appeal properties. The appellant provided evidence of works completed by 1 April 2025, including fencing, access, parking, and solar lighting. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part and deemed the lodges complete on 1 April 2025.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, unrepresented.
