Planning permission is set to be granted for the building of leisure facilities, despite attracting dozens of objections.
The plans include a 3G synthetic pitch, a grass pitch, and the single-storey sports pavilion off Waterloo Road, in the field opposite Overdale's outdoor gym.
Sport England also initially objected to the plans after raising concerns about the design of the pitches and their management and maintenance. Newdale resident, Miss Davies said there were"a few reasons" the field was not a suitable location for the facility, citing coaches using the narrow road and impact on local wildlife - such as buzzards, kestrels, owls and butterflies.
But the planning committee report states that several wildlife surveys had been undertaken, including for bats, butterflies and reptiles and raised no cause for concern.
