As far as I'm aware, Mr Brown is still fighting on and has applied to have his case heard by the Court of Appeal. If that is so, it's hardly surprising nothing had yet happened on the ground is it? No owner is going to go ahead and carry out the Section 106 Agreement improvements when hanging over his head is the possibility, however remote, that the whole planning consent could be nullified by the Courts.
The delay in anything tangible happening is entirely down to Mr Brown's actions and not to any delaying tactics on the part of Stobarts.
I hope this meets your demand for "some honest clarification on the matter".
