The register also records a planning permission expiry in Jul 2026, 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 23 months. Construction to first power took about 30 months. The register records a refusal in January 2021 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2021. A planning permission on this site expired in July 2026. The scheme has been operating for about 0 year. That works out at 3.6 MW per turbine on average.
