What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged completion notices issued on 6 June 2025 for 27 units in The Brightwells Yard Development, Farnham, seeking a completion date of 30 November 2026. The tribunal found that whilst some properties were already occupied and nearing completion, without detailed work schedules or estimates provided, it was reasonable to expect all properties could be completed by 1 July 2025, being approximately two weeks per unit for fit-out works. The appeals were allowed in part with the completion date amended from 6 June 2025 to 1 July 2025.
