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

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Feb 2015, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 16 months. Construction to first power took about 5 months. The register records a refusal in May 2007 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in February 2008. A planning permission on this site expired in February 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
