RWEnpower met some local councillors at a closed session meeting of 25 March 2009

  The letters that were sent to Land Owners were dated 23 March we do not know what date they were sent out and when local landowners received them.

  The Government has issued an edict that companies should use best practice.

  The Law Lords have said that "where a government department has issued an edict of how it our companies should behave this must be honoured unless there is good reason not to do so".

  This behaviour may or may not be legal? It is not best practice and if this is part of the argument you are putting to the British public it is barely credible.
