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. Newstead station had 44,200 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 121 people per day.
For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 20 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.
Newstead is located within the East 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 137.84ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 20 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,757 homes.
The station sits within Gedling planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 85%, having delivered 978 homes from a target of 1,147. As a result of this score, the authority must produce an 'action plan' setting out how it intends to address this shortfall.
The total capacity of all Gedling's stations is 3,070 homes. That's 268% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Gedling's stations is 2,347 homes without building on protected land. That's 205% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
