What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 22 months. The register records a refusal in September 2014 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2015. A planning permission on this site expired in April 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 4 years. That works out at 2.42 MW per turbine on average.
