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.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 40 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. The register records a refusal in April 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2019. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
