What Does a Well-Connected Train Station Actually Mean for Development? A Data-Led Answer.

The draft NPPF now has a specific, testable definition of "well-connected"—and it opens the door to higher-density development on land that previously had nowhere to go, including in the Green Belt.

But which stations actually qualify? Which land parcels fall within genuine walking distance, not just a radius on a map? And which of those are free from the constraints that would kill a promotion regardless?

LandTech ran the analysis. The results point to nearly 465,000 potential homes hiding in plain sight.

Inside the white paper:

  • The policy, decoded: exactly what footnote 26 requires and why it matters for site strategy
  • The methodology: how we moved beyond simple radii to model real walking networks and filter against key constraints
  • The findings: which LPAs and stations hold the greatest opportunity - nationally ranked
  • The implications: what NDMPs mean for local authority divergence, and why the window to act is now

Know where the opportunity is. Get ahead of the final policy. Download the white paper now.
