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. Clandon station had 185,012 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 508 people per day.

For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 40 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.

Clandon is located within the South East 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 82.09ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 40 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 3,284 homes.

The station sits within Guildford planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 144%, having delivered 2,087 homes from a target of 1,452. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all Guildford's stations is 13,372 homes. That's 921% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Guildford's stations is 191 homes without building on protected land. That's 13% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
