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. Marske station had 64,550 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 177 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.

Marske is located within the North 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 78.01ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 30 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,340 homes.

The station sits within Redcar and Cleveland planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 453%, having delivered 1,216 homes from a target of 269. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all Redcar and Cleveland's stations is 5,815 homes. That's 2,162% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Redcar and Cleveland's stations is 5,815 homes without building on protected land. That's 2,162% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
