Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Scheme REPD 4601 Permission expired March 2010 Application submitted February 2012 Refused October 2012 Permission granted March 2013 Granted on appeal March 2013 Under construction July 2014 Operational March 2017 Scheme REPD 4126 Application submitted March 2010 Refused September 2010

From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4126, Revised): 2 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Wind Direct. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 13 months. Construction to first power took about 32 months. The register records a refusal in October 2012 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in March 2013. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
