What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 24 months. Construction to first power took about 13 months. The register records a refusal in May 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2012. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2016. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 1.64 MW per turbine on average.
