The register also records a planning permission expiry in Feb 2000, in the same month as, or before, the permission was granted: it refers to an earlier permission, left off the axis.

From application to operation, this scheme took about 1 year.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 8 months. A planning permission on this site expired in February 2000. The scheme has been operating for about 24 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 0.85 MW per turbine on average.
