What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 12 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. The register records a refusal in October 2008 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2009. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 3.4 MW per turbine on average.
