The register also records a planning permission expiry in Aug 2010, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

From application to operation, this scheme took about 7 years.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 33 months. Construction to first power took about 16 months. The register records a refusal in April 2012 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in August 2013. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
