The application was determined in about 16 months. Construction to first power took about 13 months. The register records a refusal in August 2010 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
