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. Snaith station had 1,554 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 4 people per day.

For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 5 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.

Snaith 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 7.95ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 5 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 40 homes.

The station sits within East Riding of Yorkshire planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 173%, having delivered 4,164 homes from a target of 2,408. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all East Riding of Yorkshire's stations is 10,076 homes. That's 418% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of East Riding of Yorkshire's stations is 10,076 homes without building on protected land. That's 418% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
