What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 29 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. The register records a refusal in February 2014 before the scheme progressed. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2.05 MW per turbine on average.
