What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 18 months. Construction to first power took about 3 months. The register records a refusal in December 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in October 2012. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2014. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
