Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in England (compiled from RenewableUK's UKWED and The Wind Power), read on 2026-09-19. This is a compiled list, not a primary record. It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Mar 2015, 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 6 months. Construction to first power took about 16 months. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
