Plot D6 0 Ret15, 3 Marlborough Walk, GU9 7SE

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the billing authority's completion notice dated 5 June 2025, which set the effective completion date at 6 June 2025 for 27 properties in The Brightwells Yard Development. The appellant sought 30 November 2026 as the completion date, arguing properties were unfit for beneficial occupation on the effective date. The tribunal found that with approximate two-week fitting-out times per unit and considering that five properties were already occupied by the hearing date, it was reasonable to expect all properties could be completed by 1 July 2025, amending the effective date accordingly.
