Florists Sylvia and Peter Dawson are retiring from The Flower Ring after 18 years.
The couple are well known in Upton and have been active fundraisers for the town festivals and the Rotary Club.
Joy Farrell, of Bridge End Cottage, East Waterside, has put in a planning application to change the premises at 18 Old Street into an office.
She has also put in another plan to convert the same premises into a lock-up shop and two flats. Until now, the site has been home to the Flower Ring, with a flat above.
Mr and Mrs Dawson will be moving a short distance to a cottage in Backfields Lane.
