What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 46 months. Construction to first power took about 10 months. The register records a refusal in August 2009 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2016. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 3.43 MW per turbine on average.
