What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 27 months. Construction to first power took about 17 months. The register records a refusal in September 2013 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in September 2013. A planning permission on this site expired in September 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.27 MW per turbine on average.
