The register also records a planning permission expiry in Dec 2013, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 29 months. Construction to first power took about 17 months. The register records a refusal in October 2008 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2009. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2013. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 3.3 MW per turbine on average.
