What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company contended that six commercial units at Town Road had not reached completion by 11 October 2024, citing outstanding works including unconnected utilities, unfinished communal areas, and delays in planning restrictions. The tribunal found the units were substantially complete with only minor cosmetic works and utilities remaining, and applying the principle that delays in obtaining approvals should be excluded, considered it reasonable that connection could be completed within one day. The appeals were dismissed.
