What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 32 months. The register records a refusal in May 2005 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2006. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 18 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
