  1. 1Feb 2009 — Application submitted
  2. 2Sep 2009 — Permission granted
  3. 3Jan 2011 — Under construction
  4. 4Sep 2011 — Operational

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Sep 2016, 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 7 months. Construction to first power took about 8 months. A planning permission on this site expired in September 2016. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
