Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4576, Application Withdrawn): 5 turbines · 2.5 MW each · 110 m tip height · applicant Wind Prospect. 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 18 months. Construction to first power took about 3 months. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2016. The scheme has been operating for about 17 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
