From application to operation, this scheme took about 4 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4465, Operational): 1 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Temporis Capital. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 16 months. The register records a refusal in December 2003 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in November 2004. The scheme has been operating for about 19 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
