Morris & Company has secured planning consent for a 20,000 sq ft food retail store on part of the former Shropshire Star newspaper headquarters.
The approval follows last week’s announcement of a 45,000 sq ft industrial unit coming to market on the same site, marking a step forward in the revitalisation of the site known as Ketley Point.
The unit will be built by Morris Property’s construction team, alongside 126 car parking spaces, which will include provision for electric vehicle (EV) charging.
Morris & Company has worked with an undisclosed end occupier and Telford and Wrekin Council to bring this project to fruition.
Liz Lowe from Morris said: “The collaborative approach and clear communication between all parties involved have been key factors in the smooth progression of this application.
“Working with the council through the pre-application process and agreeing on a planning performance agreement allowed us to efficiently address any issues and ensure a streamlined timeline for securing consent.”
