Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in Apr 2010, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.
DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The application was determined in about 35 months. Construction to first power took about 7 months. The register records a refusal in December 2009 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in April 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
