The developers say the store will create 70 full and part time jobs and will claw back shoppers who travel outside Ludlow to shop at M&S.
Avenbury Properties Ltd has submitted an application for a building off the A49. The 2016.8sqm retail unit, with a net trading area of 1,398sqm, would have an access road from Sheet Road, an 180-space car park, eight electric vehicle charging bays, cycle rack service yard, and landscaping.
"Ludlow is a unique town with many independent traders. But these depend on footfall from within the town and further afield. "Footfall in town centres has dropped and more shopping has moved online, including for food," he said.
