What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 22 months. Construction to first power took about 27 months. The register records a refusal in December 2010 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
