The register also records a planning permission expiry in Feb 2012, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

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.
