What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 18 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. The register records a refusal in September 2013 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2014. A planning permission on this site expired in April 2020. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2.05 MW per turbine on average.
