What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 4 months. A planning permission on this site expired in February 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 26 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 0.74 MW per turbine on average.
