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. Tile Hill station had 678,866 passengers enter or exit it during this period. That's roughly 1,865 people per day.
For a station with this number of passengers passing through it each year a density of 50 homes per hectare is reasonable, based on its proximity to major population centres and existing infrastructure.
Tile Hill is located within the West 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 42.17ha.
Assuming an appropriate (but not prevailing) development density of 50 dwellings per hectare, this area has a development capacity of around 2,109 homes.
The station sits within Coventry planning authority, which in 2021 achieved a Housing Delivery Test Score of 217%, having delivered 4,648 homes from a target of 2,147. There are no consequences for the planning authority as a result.
The total capacity of all Coventry's stations is 2,109 homes. That's 98% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
Taking green belt into account, the capacity of Coventry's stations is 100 homes without building on protected land. That's 5% of its total 2021 Housing Delivery Test requirement.
