The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3703, Operational): 2 turbines · 2 MW each · applicant Renewable Energy Generation. 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 33 months. The register records a refusal in May 2008 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2010. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
