What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 34 months. Construction to first power took about 13 months. The register records a refusal in November 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in October 2013. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
