What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 15 months. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2017. The scheme has been operating for about 29 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 0.5 MW per turbine on average.
