The register also records a planning permission expiry in Apr 2020, 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 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.
