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. Tackley station had 23,666 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 65 people per day.

For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 15 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.

Tackley is located within the South 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 111.73ha.

Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 15 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 1,676 homes.

The station sits within West Oxfordshire planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 195%, having delivered 2,767 homes from a target of 1,420. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.

The total capacity of all West Oxfordshire's stations is 4,676 homes. That's 329% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.

Taking green belt into account, the capacity of West Oxfordshire's stations is 4,325 homes without building on protected land. That's 305% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
