What was argued and what the tribunal found
Surrey County Council appealed completion notices issued by Waverley Borough Council for 27 units in the Brightwells Yard Development, Farnham, seeking to extend the completion date from 6 June 2025 to 30 November 2026. The appellant argued the properties were unfit for beneficial occupation on 6 June 2025 and required additional fitting out time. The tribunal found that with an approximate two-week fitting out time per unit, it was reasonable to expect all properties to be completed by 1 July 2025, and amended the effective completion date accordingly.
