What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 17 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. The register records a refusal in March 2014 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2014. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2017. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
