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. Lapworth station had 84,716 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 233 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.
Lapworth 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 97.56ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 30 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,927 homes.
The station sits within Warwick planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 123%, having delivered 3,060 homes from a target of 2,497. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.
The total capacity of all Warwick's stations is 9,938 homes. That's 398% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Warwick's stations is 57 homes without building on protected land. That's 2% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
