From application to operation, this scheme took about 8 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 5649, Application Withdrawn): 4 turbines · 2.3 MW each · 115 m tip height · applicant Private Developer. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 26 months. Construction to first power took about 6 months. The register records a refusal in March 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2012. The scheme has been operating for about 8 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
