Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in May 2013, after commissioning: an administrative date with no effect on the operating wind farm, left off the axis.
DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 3 years.

The application was determined in about 6 months. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2013. The scheme has been operating for about 21 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
