What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 14 months. Construction to first power took about 6 months. The register records a refusal in December 2013 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in March 2014. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2014. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
