• Failure to agree commercial terms due to a lack of meaningful consultation with the landowners and their agents • Failure to agree a method statement for the pipeline construction and failure to provide clarity regarding construction depth of the pipeline and assurances that the land can be farmed going forward • No consultation has taken place regarding potential future development of the pipeline corridor and compensation provision via a development clause • No consultation regarding the implementation of a haul road during the construction period • Failure to respond in a timely manner to valid concerns regarding the pipeline route that were submitted during the statutory consultation period on 24 January 2023. Since the consultation period, the only meeting arranged was 11 months later with the Projects land agents; however, there was still a failure to provide an adequate/satisfactory explanation as to why the pipeline could not be slightly re-routed to take it further away from a residential property. A response remains outstanding.
