Screening a site of your own?
Angus approves 12% of onshore wind schemes. Redline puts that number, and everything else the record holds, against your own boundary: the authority’s actual approval rate and decision times, every designation inside the red line, agricultural grade, 1 m LIDAR earthworks, how contested the grid is, and yield with a P90 — before you spend on a consultant.

How big is Ark Hill?
Ark Hill has a recorded installed capacity of 6.4 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Ark Hill?
REPD records the operator as Green Cat Renewables. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
When was Ark Hill approved and built?
The application was submitted on 7 July 2003. Permission was granted on 15 June 2006, 35 months later. The site became operational on 29 March 2013, 81 months after consent.

REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 4062.
