What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (Surrey County Council) challenged the completion notice issued by Waverley Borough Council stating completion date as 6 June 2025 for 27 properties in The Brightwells Yard Development. The appellant sought a completion date of 30 November 2026, arguing the properties were unfit for occupation at the original date. The tribunal allowed the appeal in part, finding that based on evidence of inspections and an approximate two-week fitting-out period per unit, it was reasonable to expect all properties could be completed by 1 July 2025, amending the completion date from 6 June 2025 to 1 July 2025.
