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

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Scheme REPD 3691 Application submitted June 2009 Permission granted October 2010 Under construction November 2013 Operational November 2014 Permission expired October 2015 Scheme REPD 3995 Application submitted October 2012 Refused February 2014

From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3995, Application Refused): 1 turbines · 2.3 MW each · applicant Strathdee Properties. 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 16 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
