Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

  1. 1Jun 2019 — Application submitted
  2. 2Nov 2021 — Permission granted
  3. 3Jun 2025 — Under construction

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Nov 2027, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 6798, Under Construction): 13 turbines · 5.6 MW each · 200 m tip height · applicant Scottish Power Renewables. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 26 months. Construction to first power took about 21 months. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
