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

From application to operation, this scheme took about 4 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4549, Revised): 3 turbines · 2.3 MW each · 119 m tip height · applicant Seneca Global Energy. 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 6 months. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
