PLANS for a major new sports park in the city that could include a new training ground for Oxford United are set to be given the go ahead at a planning committee meeting.

City council officers have recommended that permission is granted to transform the site near to the Mini plant off Horspath Road, Cowley, into a sports complex.

The development if approved at the Wednesday meeting would include football and cricket pitches, a pavilion with changing facilities and 150 car parking spaces.

The meeting will be held at the city’s Town Hall at 6pm.
