Policy P10/3 – Market Towns - Peterborough and North Cambridgeshire

Wisbech and March are identified as key Market Towns within Peterborough and North Cambridgeshire. Development will consolidate their role as the main centres of employment, services and facilities and enable them to become the foci of public transport by:

• enabling new employment opportunities by creating high quality business parks;

• improving links between Wisbech and March and with Peterborough;

• encouraging the dispersal of tourism/leisure opportunities from the Cambridge area.

At Whittlesey and Ramsey proposals for new development should:-
• encourage appropriate small to medium scale employment opportunities;

• provide limited and small-scale new housing development appropriate to their roles as a focus for the rural hinterland.
