Plans to convert a restaurant into a townhouse in Ludlow has been approved by councillors.

The plans will see the conversion of No 50 Broad Street, which has the Golden Moments restaurant on its ground floor, into a town house.

The vote was near unanimous with one councillor abstaining.

Most committee members were enthusiastic about the proposal. Councillors thought it would be better as a town house, including Viv Parry who said: “I really want this to go back to a residential house”.

Councillor Andy Boddington said: "This decision is damaging to the retail and economic health of the town centre. Planning committee members had no regard for the popularity of the venue, or the fact it had been there for two decades. They had a chocolate box view of what Broad Street should look like and Golden Moments didn’t fit in to that."
