Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4578, Planning Permission Expired): 6 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Muirhall Energy (formerly Infinis). Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 9 months. Construction to first power took about 10 months. A planning permission on this site expired in September 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
