Plans to redevelop Oakfield sports centre in Jersey has been given planning approval.

It follows proposals being rejected to build a new multi-sport facility in October 2021.

Plans were then resubmitted late last year.

The redevelopment of the site includes plans to replace the existing grass football pitch with a 3G synthetic surface and building a new multi-sport sports hall and martial arts studios.
