A PETROL station in Frilford is set to gain more space.

Frilford Service Station has been given planning permission to extend its retail shop, which is currently run by Budgens.

Vale of White Horse District Council gave the Shell garage in Marcham Road its approval to build a 200m2 extension.

It will include retail floor, storage and back office staff facilities.

The application, which was approved this week, said the works would ‘benefit local residents and passing motorists’ and ensure the progression of an ‘important local facility’.
