What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 19 months. Construction to first power took about 27 months. The register records a refusal in November 2017 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in August 2018. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2021. The scheme has been operating for about 2 years. That works out at 4.8 MW per turbine on average.
