Milton Keynes Council (MKC) has approved plans for the development of a new community sports pavilion on playing fields off Cranborne Avenue, Westcroft.

Revised proposals for the project were submitted for consideration by the council in December 2009 after initial plans for a two-storey development were refused in October. The planned one-storey pavilion is set to boast four changing rooms fitted with showers, officials' changing rooms and a small social area/meeting space for community use.

Nine local residents opposed the revised proposals for being "bulky and ugly" and on the grounds of anti-social behaviour concerns, although the council also received three representations in favour of the scheme. MKC has already appointed City Renovation as its lead contractor on the project, which has also involved CMI Architects.
