✓ Independently confirmed on 2026-09-19 by Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (secondary source, compiled from UKWED): 19 Siemens Gamesa SWT-DD-120 (4.3 MW), 2021.
Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in Oct 2011, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.
DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 7 years.

The application was determined in about 32 months. Construction to first power took about 10 months. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in October 2016. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 5 years. That works out at 4.3 MW per turbine on average.
