What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 42 months. Construction to first power took about 13 months. The register records a refusal in June 2007 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in November 2009. A planning permission on this site expired in November 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
