First hoop, before any work can commence, is CAA approval of the overall project planning and execution plan.
The CAA are not renowned for their speed of work, so hopefully the CAP 791 process has already been commenced by AGS.
Part of the planning process is recognition of the impact that the construction work will have on any aircraft movements, and putting in place mitigation measures to ensure that they can safely continue.
An overview of the project, its scheduling and its temporary impact on aircraft movements will be most likely be set out in a UK AIP Supplement, which itself may have short term issues highlighted or notified via NOTAM as the project progresses.
When the AIP Supplement is published it can be accessed online via:
https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/...p-supplements/
AIP Supplements are published every 28 days. As of today nothing is currently shown. The next batch of Supplements are due for publication on 17 November.

Have been able to preview the 17 November AIP Supplements, nothing shown related to the runway extension, so no ground breaking until at least 15 December. Will provide an update in about four weeks, unless the AGS media machine or another source has by then already revealed a start date.
