What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the billing authority's completion notice dated 6 June 2025 for 27 units in The Brightwells Yard Development, seeking a completion date of 30 November 2026. The tribunal found that although five properties were already occupied, an approximate two-week fit-out time per unit was reasonable, and determined that all properties could reasonably be expected to be completed by 1 July 2025. The appeals were allowed in part, with the completion date amended from 6 June 2025 to 1 July 2025.
