What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 26 months. Construction to first power took about 21 months. The register records a refusal in May 2007 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in January 2009. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
