As we first posted here, Aggregate Industries has pledged to provide monthly updates of the work it has carried out, or plans to carry out, in relation to Straitgate Farm, as it tries to satisfy the pre-commencement conditions and obligations that are required before mineral extraction can begin.
Aggregate Industries' Planning Manager has this week provided the first update in two months of what the company has apparently undertaken in April and May:
As you are aware we wrote to all the owners of the private water supplies in April setting out further commitments and asked that owners who wanted to be part of the monitoring scheme to let us know by the 31 May.
Also in May we have responded to the Tree Preservation Order proposed by East Devon DC on land at Straitgate Farm.
In actual fact, it has been brought to our attention that not all of the owners of private water supplies were contacted in April.
The Planning Manager subsequently informed us that the company:
...will be contacting PWS owners one further time in June.
