What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 26 months. Construction to first power took about 14 months. The register records a refusal in July 2012 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2012. A planning permission on this site expired in July 2017. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.05 MW per turbine on average.
