Ludlow M&S Food store plans formally lodged
An application for a new M&S Food store on the outskirts of Ludlow has been formally submitted to planners.
A proposal from Avenbury Properties to Shropshire Council asks permission to build a retail unit for the story on land to the south of Sheet Street in the town.
The plan includes access works, a car park, eight electric vehicle charging bays, a cycle rack and a service yard, as well as landscaping.
The site is opposite the Eco Park on land along Sheet Road, east of the A49 and a 20-minute walk from the town centre.
It could bring 70 jobs to the town.
More public notices
Councils have an obligation to publish legal notices on issues with a public interest. They include planning and licence applications and roadworks. They appear in the newspaper each day in the classified section.
Shropshire Council’s planners are also being asked to approve a change of use application for Billingsley Park Lodges near Bridgnorth.
The proposals would see two additional timber holiday lodges created, along with six timber pods.
The plans also include an access road, landscaping and a mini sewage treatment plant.
