flag UK report urges rail station investments to boost housing and growth, backed by government and officials.

flag A new report by the Railway Industry Association urges increased investment around UK rail stations to spur housing, economic growth, and transport improvements. flag It proposes station investment zones within 10-minute walks of hubs, using coordinated planning and tax incentives to attract public and private funding for housing, amenities, and transport. flag Grouping stations into portfolios could reduce costs and unlock up to 1.2 million new homes, especially near rural stations. flag With 85% of the population living near a station, officials from Labour, the Rail Delivery Group, and the government support the plan, calling rail hubs vital for regeneration and growth. flag The government says it is exploring expanded development around rail sites to meet housing and infrastructure needs.
