Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in England (compiled from RenewableUK's UKWED and The Wind Power), read on 2026-09-19. This is a compiled list, not a primary record. It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.
Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in Nov 2013, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

From application to operation, this scheme took about 4 years.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0. REPD ref 3147.
The application was determined in about 7 months. Construction to first power took about 13 months. A planning permission on this site expired in November 2013. The scheme has been operating for about 18 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
