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. Kings Sutton station had 82,796 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 227 people per day.

For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 30 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.

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 55.08ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 30 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 1,652 homes.
