Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

The register also records a planning permission expiry in Feb 2010, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 35 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. The register records a refusal in September 2010 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in February 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in February 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
