The register also records a planning permission expiry in Aug 2017, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 43 months. Construction to first power took about 6 months. The register records a refusal in February 2015 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in August 2017. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2017. The scheme has been operating for about 8 years. That works out at 2.2 MW per turbine on average.
