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. Nafferton station had 36,722 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 101 people per day.

Nafferton 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 95.25ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 20 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 1,905 homes.
