Shop in Ludlow town centre can become flat despite town council's objection

A shop in Ludlow will be converted into a home after the green light was given to the plans despite objections from the town council.

The owners of 19 Bull Ring in the town centre have been given permission to turn the store into a flat.

The town council admitted there was a"high turnover of businesses at present" but said that retail premises were being filled again.Another objection, raised by Mr Charles Glasgow, argued the change would"set a dangerous precedent" by reducing the number of the town's retail premises, which he argued would"affect the vibrancy and longevity of Ludlow as a shopping destination".

"Nevertheless, it has been actively marketed by an experienced local estate agent for several years now, and there are other vacant retail units available locally as well."
