The register also records a planning permission expiry in Mar 2010, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

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.
