What this site sits on
The recorded coordinate falls on land surveyed as Grade 5 agricultural land.
- SSSI — West Pennine Moors SSSI
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.

How big is Hyndburn Wind Farm?
Hyndburn Wind Farm has a recorded installed capacity of 24 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 Hyndburn Wind Farm?
REPD records the operator as Energiekontor UK. 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 Hyndburn Wind Farm approved and built?
The application was submitted on 2009-12-01. Permission was granted on 2010-10-17, 11 months later. The site became operational on 2012-10-19, 24 months after consent.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). 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 3748.
