What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 22 months. Construction to first power took about 26 months. The register records a refusal in September 2013 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2014. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 7 years. That works out at 2.05 MW per turbine on average.
