What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 33 months. Construction to first power took about 10 months. The register records a refusal in October 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2012. A planning permission on this site expired in July 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
