What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 26 months. Construction to first power took about 8 months. The register records a refusal in July 2010 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in February 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 2.07 MW per turbine on average.
