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. Kiveton Bridge station had 76,772 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 211 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.
Kiveton Bridge is located within the Yorkshire and The Humber 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 71.84ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 30 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,155 homes.
The station sits within Rotherham planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 104%, having delivered 1,544 homes from a target of 1,487. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.
The total capacity of all Rotherham's stations is 4,829 homes. That's 325% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Rotherham's stations is 175 homes without building on protected land. That's 12% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
