What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 34 months. Construction to first power took about 21 months. The register records a refusal in December 2014 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2016. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2023. The scheme has been operating for about 5 years. That works out at 3 MW per turbine on average.
