What this site sits on
- Special Protection Area — Liverpool Bay
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 Rhyl Flats�?

Who operates Rhyl Flats�?

The application was submitted on 25 March 2002. Permission was granted on 1 January 2003, 9 months later. The site became operational on 28 December 2009, 84 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 2495.
