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.
