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. Iver station had 231,544 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 636 people per day.

For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 50 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.

Iver 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 63.69ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 50 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 3,185 homes.

The station sits within Buckinghamshire planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 107%, having delivered 7,599 homes from a target of 7,074. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all Buckinghamshire's stations is 25,064 homes. That's 354% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Buckinghamshire's stations is 13,204 homes without building on protected land. That's 187% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
