What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 40 months. Construction to first power took about 8 months. The register records a refusal in April 2007 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2008. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 0.8 MW per turbine on average.
