Cambridge Sub Region Retail Study (October 2008)

South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council have jointly undertaken a retail study of the Cambridge Sub Region to inform retail planning in accordance with guidance set out in PPS6: Planning for Town Centres (March 2005). The study will form part of the evidence base for retail policies and allocations in future planning policy documents, and will allow each Council to make informed choices about the nature and extent of retail growth to be accommodated in the future.

Below is a copy of the study, available to download or view in pdf format.
