4 Old Market Place, GU9 7SF

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged completion notices for 27 retail units in The Brightwells Yard Development, Farnham, seeking a completion date of 30 November 2026, while the billing authority had set 6 June 2025. The tribunal found that the appellant failed to present a schedule of works or estimates for completion times. However, noting that approximately two weeks was required for fitting out individual units and that five properties were already occupied by the inspection date, the tribunal determined it was reasonable to expect completion by 1 July 2025, allowing approximately three weeks from the original completion notice date.
