From application to operation, this scheme took about 3 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4487, Application Withdrawn): 11 turbines · 2 MW each · 100 m tip height · applicant Scottish Power Renewables. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.
