The register also records a planning permission expiry in Mar 2018, 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 29 months. Construction to first power took about 5 months. The register records a refusal in October 2014 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in March 2015. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 0.8 MW per turbine on average.
