What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 26 months. Construction to first power took about 10 months. The register records a refusal in December 2007 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in January 2010. A planning permission on this site expired in January 2012. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
