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 110.98ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 5 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 555 homes.
