The club has submitted the application to Shropshire Council for change of use for the field – from agricultural to ‘community recreation with occasional vehicle parking’.

The proposal would allow the club to carry out training on the field, and also for car parking on match days. A decision on the plan will be taken at a later date.

Earlier this year the club was confirmed as the location for Ludlow’s popular Spring Festival after Shropshire Council’s licensing committee approved the plan.

  • 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.

Meanwhile, a business park could be converted into housing if planners agree with the proposal from Helle Holdings for the site in St Martins.

The proposal is for the St Martin’s Business Park on Ellesmere Road, and would see 17 homes built at the site – as well as an access for vehicles.

An outline application for residential property on the site was approved back in 2002 but was not taken up. The latest proposal says fresh homes would fit in with the area. The application states: “The site is surrounded on all sides by residential housing and work has recently started on the development of housing on the Mount Pleasant site opposite.

“The present light industrial use is not compatible with the area, generates noise from the workshops and heavy duty vehicle activity.

“Housing on the site would be completely in keeping with the residential housing which lines Ellesmere Road.”

Telford & Wrekin Council is being asked to look at varying conditions on a previous application for the Granville Landfill site on Grange Lane, Redhill. The authority has also received an application for a project that would create 10 flats and a retail unit. The proposal for the site of 1 and 3 Slaney Street, Oakengates, is for the demolition of two dwellings to put up the new buildings.
