What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 37 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. The register records a refusal in March 2010 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in January 2011. A planning permission on this site expired in January 2014. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 3 MW per turbine on average.
