What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 45 months. Construction to first power took about 17 months. The register records a refusal in October 2008 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
