The register also records a planning permission expiry in Oct 2018, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 35 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. The register records a refusal in October 2005 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in October 2005. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 17 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
