What was argued and what the tribunal found
Surrey County Council appealed completion notices issued by Waverley Borough Council dated 6 June 2025 for 27 retail units in the Brightwells Yard Development. The appellant contended the completion date was unreasonable and sought 30 November 2026; the respondent conceded the date should be amended. The tribunal found that, given approximately two-week fitting-out times and the incomplete state of most properties as of the inspection date, it was reasonable to expect completion by 1 July 2025, and amended the completion date accordingly.
