The register also records a planning permission expiry in May 2018, 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 22 months. Construction to first power took about 55 months. The register records a refusal in February 2003 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2004. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 0.87 MW per turbine on average.
