Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (compiled from UKWED and The Wind Power), read on 2026-09-19. This is a compiled list, not a primary record. It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Jun 2011, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

From application to operation, this scheme took about 3 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4235, Operational): 2 turbines · 3.2 MW each · applicant Community Windpower. 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. Construction to first power took about 13 months. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 3 MW per turbine on average.
