  3. 3Apr 2017 — Under construction
  4. 4Oct 2017 — Operational

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Oct 2017, 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 7 months. Construction to first power took about 6 months. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2017. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 6 MW per turbine on average.
