Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Original scheme Application submitted September 2010 Permission expired March 2011 Permission granted March 2012 Granted on appeal September 2012 Under construction December 2014 Operational January 2015 Later scheme Application submitted July 2015

From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 5386, Application Withdrawn): 6 turbines · 3 MW each · 115 m tip height · applicant XSCH. 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 18 months. Construction to first power took about 1 month. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in September 2012. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 0.75 MW per turbine on average.
