Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in England (compiled from RenewableUK's UKWED and The Wind Power), read on 2026-09-19. This is a compiled list, not a primary record. It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.
Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in Dec 2019, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

From application to operation, this scheme took about 4 years.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0. REPD ref 3685.
The application was determined in about 20 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. The register records a refusal in September 2009 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2009. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2019. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
