What was argued and what the tribunal found
Surrey County Council challenged the billing authority's completion notice dated 6 June 2025 for 27 units at The Brightwells Yard Development in Farnham, arguing completion should be deferred to 30 November 2026. The tribunal found that whilst some properties were already occupied, the remaining properties could reasonably be expected to be completed by 1 July 2025, based on approximate two-week fit-out times and the absence of detailed work schedules. The appeals were allowed in part, with the completion date amended from 6 June 2025 to 1 July 2025.
