What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 17 months. Construction to first power took about 1 month. The register records a refusal in January 2008 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2008. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 2.05 MW per turbine on average.
