Herefordshire-based St Michael's Hospice had applied to Shropshire Council for permission to use part of a unit owned by Spencer Manufacturing at Sheet Road in Ludlow.

The application requested permission to use the unit for storage and distribution, retail, and offices.

The proposal has now been approved by Shropshire Council.

A decision notice issued by the authority said: "Together with the provision of a sufficient level of associated parking and minor elevational alterations, [it] would bring economic benefits through the creation of jobs, supporting the vitality of the town and its hinterland.

"No undue adverse impacts would result from the change of use in terms of visual or neighbour amenity, or with regard to highways safety."
