Up to 25 jobs will be created and a vacant building refurbished under a £2.2 million plan to open a new pub in Ludlow town centre.
Oakman Inns and Restaurants has applied for planning permission to return the former Pizza Express restaurant back to its historic use, having originally been known as the George Hotel.
As well as the restoration and extension of the former Pizza Express building at 12 Castle Street, which has been closed since last year, the proposals also take in the back storage area of the neighbouring M&Co premises at number 10.
The applicant says the extra space is needed to provide a large enough dining area to make the business viable.
The plans will now be decided by Shropshire Council.
