What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 16 months. Construction to first power took about 1 month. The register records a refusal in July 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in March 2012. A planning permission on this site expired in March 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
