The register also records a planning permission expiry in Dec 1900, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

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

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 4 months. A planning permission on this site expired in December 1900. The scheme has been operating for about 23 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 1.3 MW per turbine on average.
