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 57.66ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 50 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,883 homes.
