I dislike comments like 'I find that strange', because there is a clear implication behind the statement but not backed up by the conviction of actual words.
Your implication appears to be that they lack of activity must be because of some malign reason like perhaps they've decided this whole thing can't be done, and decided to violate all laws of the market by not revealing this and making continuing public statements that would be totally misleading and lies.
OR... perhaps there is a more pedestrian explanation, like the preparation of the site doesn't take very long and the HSE will be on-site to inspect right away, because they are planning everything very carefully.
Even if you don't think I'm right, there is no reason or logic behind supposing anything malign is going on.
