  1. 1Oct 2006 — Application submitted
  2. 2May 2009 — Permission granted
  3. 3Jul 2010 — Under construction
  4. 4Apr 2011 — Operational

The register also records a planning permission expiry in May 2012, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

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

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4485, Operational): 1 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Pennant Walters (MAESX) Limited. 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 31 months. Construction to first power took about 9 months. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2012. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
