What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (billing authority) sought to set the completion date for 27 units at The Brightwells Yard Development as 6 June 2025, while Surrey County Council as owner sought 30 November 2026. The tribunal found that five properties were already occupied and, allowing approximately two weeks for fit-out per unit and considering the properties should be treated individually, it was reasonable to expect completion by 1 July 2025. The appeals were allowed in part with the completion date amended from 6 June 2025 to 1 July 2025.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Surrey County Council, represented.
