In response to a question during the Lothian Shelf planning appeal, George Yerrall, a director of RiverOak Strategic Partners Limited (RiverOak), confirmed that RiverOak, a UK registered company, purchased all rights and interests in the Manston project from RiverOak Investment Corp in December 2016.  RiverOak has retained the same professional team including lawyers and all other consultancies, to ensure that the project can continue working towards statutory consultation in May 2017.
