What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 14 months. Construction to first power took about 13 months. The register records a refusal in October 2009 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
