Hinksey Park Football Club has won planning permission to build a pavilion at Grandpont Nature Park, off Whitehouse Road.

The facility, part of a £3.1m city council project to build and upgrade pavilions across Oxford, will include changing rooms, showers, toilets, a community room and kitchen.

The youth football club, which has about 200 registered members, hopes to begin work on the project in October or November.

Oxford City Council’s west area planning committee granted the scheme planning permission on Tuesday.
