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

2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Scheme REPD 3979 Application submitted March 2008 Refused May 2008 Permission granted December 2010 Granted on appeal December 2010 Scheme REPD 3703 Application submitted May 2009 Refused December 2009 Permission granted December 2010 Granted on appeal December 2010 Under construction August 2012 Operational June 2013

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.
