What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 34 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. The register records a refusal in May 2013 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2014. A planning permission on this site expired in July 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
