Development Potential

England's busiest station (apart from those serving airports) had 4,170,558 passenger movements in the period 2019-2020. The station with the least was 68. Bermuda Park station had 38,078 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 105 people per day.

For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 20 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.

Bermuda Park is located within the West Midlands railway region. The potential area for development around the station (excluding existing buildings, national parks, flood zones, public green space, protected habitats, areas of outstanding natural beauty, world heritage sites and surface water) is approximately 19.74ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 20 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 395 homes.

The station sits within Nuneaton and Bedworth planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 117%, having delivered 1,889 homes from a target of 1,616. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all Nuneaton and Bedworth's stations is 395 homes. That's 24% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Nuneaton and Bedworth's stations is 387 homes without building on protected land. That's 24% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
