Upwell Road, March, Cambridgeshire

Location
The site is located in March, a well-established Fenland market town with a strong local centre and a population of around 22,000. The town centre provides a wide range of national and independent retailers, cafés and restaurants, focused along Broad Street, and is supported by a weekly market held adjacent to the River Nene.

March benefits from a good provision of public open space and is particularly well known for its riverside setting. The Old River Nene runs through the town centre, providing attractive walking routes, moorings and recreational boating, and contributing to the town’s overall amenity and appeal.
