We'll have to wait a bit longer for a decision on plans for a new out-of-town supermarket in Ludlow.
Shropshire councillors were due to discuss it at a meeting this afternoon and said they were minded to refuse the application for a site at Rocks Green.
But after taking legal advice, they decided to delay making a decision, to allow the application to be examined in more detail.

Police say they've received a surge of emergency calls reporting "creepy clowns" across the country, including across the West Midlands.
Pat the Clown, based in Birmingham, has spoken out against the craze which he believes is inspired by American films and could badly affect the clown industry.
Image source, ThinkstockQuote MessageIt's quite disgusting. It's potentially going to have an adverse effect on us if it persists. I have been trying to play down the more negative aspects of clowns as somebody to be frightened of, for the last 25 years. Clowns are something that should be enjoyed by people, not feared

The police are appealing for information after a 17-year-old girl was assaulted at a travelling funfair in Telford.
The teenager was hit over the head with what may have been a bottle, and was punched in the face as she stood chatting with friends on the car-park at Legges Way in Madeley.
It happened last Friday evening, officers said.
Jake Edwards Ellis used Your Questions to ask: "What triggered Wellington to transition into a market town in 1244 by Royal charter?"
We asked Rob Francis, the chairman of the group which organises the annual Wellington Charter Day, external celebrations - Wellington H2A.
He explained that many towns held markets before the 13th century, some of them with royal approval, but during the reign of Henry III there was a drive to get this formalised and landowners who wanted to levy tolls on merchants had to hold a royal charter for their market.
So Giles of Erdington, the man who owned Wellington at the time, would have written to the king to ask for a royal charter because he wanted to make money from it.
Ask us what you've always wondered about Shropshire here and your question could be making the news.
