New National Planning Policy Framework

Today’s planning reforms could unlock significant new development around England’s best-connected stations. But planning permission is only part of the equation: how will the transport infrastructure needed to support that growth be funded?

New development and better connectivity can create significant increases in land value. Land value capture can turn an appropriate, commercially agreed share of that value into funding for new or improved rail infrastructure -helping unlock growth without relying solely on constrained public budgets.

That is exactly what E‑Rail was established to do. Through our unique land value capture method, we secure voluntary landowner contributions towards the rail infrastructure that enables growth.

Please get in touch if you are considering what the new framework could mean for a station, corridor or growth area.
