Plans to alter and extend a village hall, along with a play area and parking site have been approved.

The application site is Radley Village Hall, which, aside from this venue, includes a car park, play area, football pitch and pavilion.

The approved plans will see extensions and alterations made to the village hall and works within its curtilage, including hard and soft landscaping, reorganisation of the cycle and car parking and an extended play area.
