DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.
The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4188, Application Refused): 16 turbines · 2.3 MW each · 115 m tip height · applicant Peel Holdings and UUGE. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

The application was determined in about 23 months. Construction to first power took about 9 months. The scheme has been operating for about 18 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
