OXFORD'S Harveys furniture store is set to have a major expansion.

The shop at Botley Road Retail Park has sought planning permission to extend 'one bay to the south' into what is currently Bensons Beds.

The brick exterior would be replaced by new glazed 'curtain walling'.

The move will create extra floor space for Harvey's and, it said, 'aesthetically upgrade the unit in line with those adjacent to it'.

The plans are also intended to 'introduce additional visibility into the unit', the company said.

Members of public can see the plans online at oxford.gov.uk using reference number 17/01576/FUL.

Oxford City Council is aiming to make a decision on the planning application by September 4.
