The register also records a planning permission expiry in Sep 2016, 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 8 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4628, Operational): 15 turbines · 4.48 MW each · 200 m tip height · applicant Banks Renewables. 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 33 months. Construction to first power took about 31 months. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2019. The scheme has been operating for about 7 years. That works out at 3.4 MW per turbine on average.
