Plans for Mansfield Town to expand its football academy have been given the go-ahead.
The planning applications committee at Mansfield District Council has approved an application from Mansfield Town Developments to build new facilities at the Radford & Hymas training site in Woburn Lane, Pleasley.
According to planning documents, the proposal comprises of an indoor pitch, an outdoor pitch with lighting, a gym building, and two new car parks.
A report prepared for the council meeting said the scheme would deliver "material benefits" through investment in sports infrastructure.
Mansfield Town opened the Radford & Hymas training facility in 2016, and in 2023 the club bought more land nearby from Nottinghamshire County Council to expand onto.

Nottinghamshire have signed New Zealand A international fast bowler Fraser Sheat as an overseas player for the final five County Championship games of the season.
The 28-year-old from Canterbury, who played twice for Glamorgan in 2024, is in line to mark his return to English county cricket on Thursday as Notts play Warwickshire, one of their two main Division One ******* le rivals, in a meeting of third against first at Edgbaston.
"Fraser will add to our seam resources at a key point in the season," said Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores, who are without England paceman Josh Tongue on Thursday.
"Six games in six weeks is a heavy workload in the last part of this season and to have depth in our seam bowling will be key to staying competitive in every game. This feels like a great opportunity for Fraser."
Sheat, who was a runner-up in New Zealand's T20 Super Smash last winter, has not played any competitive cricket since April, when he was called up by the touring New Zealand A squad to play Sri Lanka A in Hambantota in April, taking one wicket and making a useful 61 not out.

Leicestershire head coach Alfonso Thomas hopes England 12th man duties will not deny him the services of all-rounder Rehan Ahmed for the One-Day Cup final next month.
Playing his first domestic List A game in five years, the 22-year-old hit 31 and then took a wicket with his first ball in the Foxes' semi-final win over Nottinghamshire on Sunday.
Yet selection for England's T20 and ODI series with Sri Lanka could see Ahmed miss Leicestershire's final showdown with Middlesex at Trent Bridge on 20 September.
"If he's playing for England that will obviously take first dibs," Thomas told BBC Radio Leicester.
"The one thing we don't want to see is him getting picked for England, and carry the drinks on the Saturday when he could have been playing a game of cricket.

Lancashire have appointed Richard Kenyon as their new chief executive after he decided to resign from the same role at Nottinghamshire.
He will replace the outgoing Daniel Gidney, who is set to retire at the end of the year following 14 years at Old Trafford.
Kenyon became CEO at Notts in October but is leaving the current county champions after less than a year to move closer to his family home at Southport.
He previously spent a decade at Everton FC, holding roles as chief commercial and communications officer, as well as chief executive of Everton in the community - the club's charitable organisation - and was involved in the club's move from Goodison Park to Bramley Moore Dock.
"This is a club with a proud history, passionate members and supporters, and tremendous ambition. To have the opportunity to play a leading role in the next chapter of its journey is a real privilege," Kenyon told Lancashire's website.

All but two of the nine teams in Group A remain in contention to reach the knockout stages of the One-Day Cup following a day of unlikely results including defeats for the top three in the section.
Pacesetters Leicestershire missed the chance to advance in their final game of the initial phase, with their fate now out of their hands after losing at Kent, who were helped by a sensational display from Daniel Bell-Drummond. They now join Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Surrey in the chasing pack on 16 points each.
Middlesex won at eliminated Derbyshire to remain top of Group B and ensure they will advance, with Durham also in a strong position immediately behind second-placed Yorkshire following their home win against Essex, who now cannot progress.
Elsewhere in Group B, Glamorgan damaged Worcestershire's hopes of a knockout-stage place with the final ball of the game at Cardiff, while in Group A second-placed Nottinghamshire narrowly lost at Gloucestershire and third-placed Lancashire lost at second-bottom Warwickshire.

Sheffield United have agreed a deal with Coventry City for the transfer of Gustavo Hamer, bringing an end to the Dutchman's three-year spell at Bramall Lane.
The midfielder is set to return to Coventry in a deal worth £6 million plus add-ons, with a medical scheduled to take place today as the transfer moves towards completion, per Sky Sports. The Blades are now preparing to lose one of the most influential attacking players in their squad just days before the start of their Championship campaign.
Hamer missed Sheffield United's trip to Mansfield Town in the EFL Cup on Sunday afternoon, with his absence immediately raising further questions over his future. United, however, were able to put his omission to one side as they made the short journey to Nottinghamshire and secured an impressive 3-0 victory.
The result ensured that Chris Wilder's side progressed, but attention away from the pitch quickly turned towards Hamer and his increasingly likely departure. Now, a deal has been agreed that will see the 29-year-old head back to Coventry, where he previously established himself as one of the Championship's most exciting midfielders.
For Sheffield United, replacing Hamer will be no straightforward task. During his three seasons at Bramall Lane, the Dutchman has more than justified the price tag the Blades paid to bring him to South Yorkshire in 2023. Across all competitions, Hamer has scored 21 goals and registered 26 ****** ists for United, giving him a remarkable total of 47 goal involvements during his time at the club.

What began as a hobby for two brothers from Nottinghamshire is taking them to the US as they prepare to compete at the Pokémon World Championships.
Thirteen-year-old Oliver, who became a European champion aged 12, will compete alongside his brother Edward, 11, who will play in the junior division.
The pair, from Ruddington, first started playing the trading card game at a Nottingham board game cafe when their mum wanted to get them out of the house and away from screens after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Oliver and Edward will join thousands of competitors at this year's world championships in San Francisco, taking place between 28 and 30 August.
Mum Kayleigh said: "It's crazy, I never thought that Pokémon would take me around the world and the kids.

Mohammad Amir's new British citizenship could create a fresh complication for the Pakistan fast bowler ahead of the 2027 Pakistan Super League (PSL). Although Amir played as a domestic cricketer in the PSL until last season, he is now expected to be treated as an overseas player.
Amir spoke about the change during an appearance on Wisden's The Scoop Extended, revealing that his new citizenship status would affect how he is classified in the PSL. His British citizenship was confirmed in June after Nottinghamshire signed him for the 2026 Vitality Blast.
The move has already allowed Amir to be treated as a domestic player in English competitions. He also played for Trent Rockets in the 2026 edition of The Hundred after replacing David Payne.
The situation is different in Pakistan. Amir is expected to be classified as an overseas player in the PSL, meaning any team wanting him will have to use one of its foreign-player slots.
Amir played for Rawalpindi in PSL 2026 after being bought for PKR 5.4 crore in the league's first auction. He was among the team's major signings alongside Naseem Shah and Daryl Mitchell.
The change could create a problem because players retained or bought before PSL 2026 were given two-year contracts covering the 2026 and 2027 seasons. Under the PSL auction rules, teams can retain up to seven players for PSL 12, while released players return to the auction pool.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not yet clarified whether Rawalpindi can keep Amir under his existing deal after his status changes. The team may have to release him, renegotiate his contract or use an overseas-player slot to retain him.
Reports suggesting that PSL 2027 could be Amir's final season have not been confirmed by the cricketer, PCB or Rawalpindi.
For now, what is clear is that Amir holds a British passport, is treated as a domestic player in England and is expected to be an overseas player in the PSL. A formal PCB clarification on his Rawalpindi contract is still awaited.

'Remembering Captain Hedley Verity: England legend who dismissed Don Bradman eight times before dying as a World War II POW originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Hedley Verity took a first-class record 10 wickets for 10 runs against Nottinghamshire in 1932.
He dismissed Don Bradman eight times in Tests, more than any other bowler.
Verity died aged 38 in 1943 as a prisoner of war in Italy.
Some cricketers are remembered for their statistics, others for the manner of their lives, and a rare few for both. Hedley Verity belongs firmly in that final category, a Yorkshire slow left-armer whose bowling carved records that still stand and whose death in wartime lent his name a solemn permanence.

Middlesex, Durham and Leicestershire joined Nottinghamshire with two wins from two in the One-Day Cup by winning their respective matches on Friday, while champions Worcestershire and Kent made victorious starts to their campaigns.
Matches do not get much better for all-rounders than the one enjoyed by Josh de Caires as he delivered career-best List A figures with bat and ball to keep Middlesex unbeaten.
De Caires, son of former England captain Michael Atherton, hit 75 as Middlesex racked up 284-8 against Hampshire and then returned with the ball to take 6-35 as Middlesex won by 160 runs.
Both were career-bests for De Caires, who also moved past his father's best bowling figures in the format of 4-42 for Combined Universities against Somerset in 1989.
Former England Test captain Ben Stokes continues to thrive at Durham, with the all-rounder hitting five sixes in his 73 not out in 51 **** against Sussex, adding to his unbeaten century against Derbyshire on Tuesday.

Somerset all-rounder Craig Overton said he could "not have asked for much more" in terms of his form in the County Championship this season.
Overton scored his third century of the campaign in the draw with Warwickshire to help Somerset move within five points of championship leaders Nottinghamshire.
The 32-year-old was wearing the captain's armband in Taunton in the absence of the injured Lewis Gregory.
"It's been a good start this year, hopefully can continue that form. I feel like the T20s haven't quite gone to plan yet but in the Championship I couldn't have asked for anything more," Overton told BBC Radio Somerset.
"Hopefully that continues come the back end of the comp."

Essex director of cricket Chris Silverwood insisted that batting first was "absolutely the right decision" despite their heavy defeat by Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One.
The hosts went into the game at Chelmsford on top of the table, but lost by an innings and 52 runs, having been bowled out for just 184 on the opening day after skipper Tom Westley won the toss.
Notts' left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White took six of the wickets to fall and added three more in the second innings for overall figures of 9-109.
"I was happy with the wicket, I don't mind it turning a bit, which it did," Silverwood told BBC Essex.
"You've got to trust your defence, you've got to have a solid defence against spin, but equally you've got to know where your scoring options are.

Batter Sheridon Gumbs has been handed a one-month contract with Leicestershire after being promoted from the club's second XI.
The 22-year-old has been with the Foxes since the start of the 2025 season, but is yet to make a first-class, List A or T20 Blast appearance for the East Midlands club.
Gumbs, a former England Under-19 international who made four List A appearances for Surrey in the One-Day Cup in 2022, has signed his short-term deal with Leicestershire after scoring an unbeaten 79 in the second XI's one-run T20 victory against Nottinghamshire earlier this week.
"Sheridon has worked extremely hard since arriving at the club and has thoroughly earned this opportunity," said Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson.
"His performances for the second XI have been consistently impressive and he has shown he can score runs against strong opposition in a variety of situations."
