Cherwell District Council has approved extending Cropredy marina to provide another 100 boat moorings today.

The application was agreed despite concerns that seven berths out of 249 could be occupied by people living there permanently, in breach of planning rules.

Councillor Ken Atack said he hoped residents would be pleased at the "wonderful" expansion plans.

A new landscaping scheme is proposed to the north, west and east of the proposed basin. The proposed planting is a native shrub mix located to the north, west and east of the proposed basin.
