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

2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Scheme REPD 3487 Application submitted August 2004 Refused June 2006 Permission granted June 2008 Granted on appeal June 2008 Under construction June 2008 Operational September 2008 Scheme REPD 3488 Application submitted May 2005 Refused December 2005

From application to operation, this scheme took about 4 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3488, Revised): 18 turbines · 1.75 MW each · applicant CRE Energy/ Scottish Power. 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 46 months. Construction to first power took about 3 months. The register records a refusal in June 2006 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in June 2008. The scheme has been operating for about 18 years. That works out at 1.5 MW per turbine on average.
