The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 8046, Operational): 3 turbines · 35 m tip height · applicant Ventus Renewables. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The register records a refusal in January 2016 before the scheme progressed. That works out at 1 MW per turbine on average.
