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. Henley-In-Arden station had 135,770 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 373 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.

Henley-In-Arden 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 56.12ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 40 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,245 homes.

The station sits within Stratford-on-Avon planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 240%, having delivered 3,640 homes from a target of 1,514. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all Stratford-on-Avon's stations is 12,730 homes. That's 841% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Stratford-on-Avon's stations is 1,007 homes without building on protected land. That's 67% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
