The register also records a planning permission expiry in May 2027, after commissioning: an administrative date with no effect on the operating wind farm, left off the axis.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

From application to operation, this scheme took about 9 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 7708, Operational): 5 turbines · 149.9 m tip height · applicant Infinergy / Boralex. 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 36 months. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in June 2019. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2027. The scheme has been operating for about 1 year. That works out at 4.2 MW per turbine on average.
