What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 25 months. Construction to first power took about 14 months. The register records a refusal in January 2004 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in March 2005. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2016. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 0.8 MW per turbine on average.
