The register also records a planning permission expiry in Aug 2019, after commissioning: an administrative date with no effect on the operating wind farm, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 12 months. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2019. The scheme has been operating for about 25 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 2.35 MW per turbine on average.
