What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 9 months. Construction to first power took about 2 months. The register records a refusal in May 2015 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in August 2015. A planning permission on this site expired in August 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 1.5 MW per turbine on average.
