What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 17 months. Construction to first power took about 4 months. The register records a refusal in March 2003 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in February 2004. A planning permission on this site expired in February 2012. The scheme has been operating for about 19 years. That works out at 1.5 MW per turbine on average.
