Ludlow Chamber of Commerce has found that a slim majority of 57 per cent of its 100 members feel it would be 'detrimental to the town’s local economy'.
A plan has been lodged with Shropshire Council planners for a retail unit to the south of Sheet Road.
A spokesman for the chamber said:"Clearly there are mixed feelings about the proposal and the chamber committee, as a volunteer group of business owners, are experienced enough to know that to launch a large campaign in opposition to the proposal would be disproportionally time consuming when the likelihood is for the scheme to be approved.
They make the point that the land has been earmarked for employment rather than retail. Senior planners have raised the same point with the applicants. "Combined with the increase in fees for both on and off-street parking, the town centre is slowly suffocating due to the lack of vision of both the local and county level councils.""Ludlow is currently experiencing higher number of high street business closures than usual. The combination of pressures on personal finances, online purchasing and high business rates are taking a toll," said the spokesman.
