What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 15 months. Construction to first power took about 5 months. The register records a refusal in February 2014 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2014. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
