Plot D6 0 Ret19, 11 Marlborough Walk, GU9 7SE

What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to challenge a completion notice issued by the billing authority (Waverley Borough Council) on 5 June 2025, which set the completion date as 6 June 2025, arguing that the properties would not be ready for beneficial occupation and seeking a completion date of 30 November 2026. The tribunal found that whilst the appellant did not provide a detailed schedule of works, an approximate fit-out time of two weeks was stated, and having regard to the facts and the existing occupation of five properties, it was reasonable to expect that the remaining appeal properties could be completed by 1 July 2025. Accordingly, the appeals were allowed in part and the completion date was amended from 6 June 2025 to 1 July 2025.
