30 April update

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address the ongoing concerns regarding the information we have been sending to update you on our progress towards PC. I want to deeply apologise for any confusion or frustration our updates may have caused you. Please know that I am actively working on resolving these issues to ensure that you receive accurate and reliable updates about our progress.

To enhance the accuracy of the information we share, I have asked Richard White, my Executive Director, to take on the role of providing and confirming programme and documentation updates. I have been made aware that there are still some certificates that are required, which is because they have lapsed from their original production date. These relate to items such as the pumps, central plant, and water testing. There are also some items still outstanding in relation to the O&M manual. This is new information that has been shared with us, and so I am unable to give you any more information with this update, but with Richard’s oversight, we will have the correct details and timelines to share with you by next week's update.

Despite this information coming to light, I can assure you that we are getting much closer to taking PC. Once we have taken PC, our best estimate for the timescale on Block B’s registration is as we have advised previously, at 8 weeks from PC. This is based on the information we have for submission, what we will need at PC, and the information we are currently working to obtain with Mulalley and our own management information. The 8 weeks is an indication, as the information will need to be reviewed, and we cannot guarantee it would be 8 weeks due to mitigating factors such as errors identified or third-party compliance within those timescales.

Involving my Executive Director in this process will help us ensure the highest level of accuracy and reliability in the information my team shares with you. My team is dedicated to providing you with the most precise updates possible. We understand your frustrations with the previous updates and that you are looking for a clearer understanding of what we are waiting on for PC. We appreciate your patience as we finalise these details.

Thank you once again for your understanding and patience.

Best regards,

Vikki Walker – Director of Sales and Marketing

Richard White – Executive Director of Development
