What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 14 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. The register records a refusal in January 2013 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in October 2013. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2017. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
