How long does a onshore wind scheme application take in South Lanarkshire?
The median time from application to decision is 15.9 months, against a UK median of 11.5 months for onshore wind. That is measured between the submission and decision dates recorded in REPD, so it reflects the whole determination period including any extensions.
How much onshore wind capacity has South Lanarkshire consented?
584 MW has been consented across 36 approved schemes, with 166 MW refused. A further 12 applications awaits a decision.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0 — 2026 Q1 extract. Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded. A permission later expired still counts as approved because consent was granted. REPD covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above, is published quarterly, and does not record refusal reasons — so nothing here explains why a scheme was refused.
