The Oxford Endowment Fund acquired the 260,000 sq ft Grove Business Park in 2022 and is seeking to increase its workspace capacity by as much as 377,000 sq ft.
The site is in the Vale of White Horse.
An application has been made for four outdoor padel courts, with an opening targeted for spring 2027.
The proposed facility would stand in front of the TFD Health & Fitness Gym and include outdoor seating alongside a kiosk.
Padel is a recreational racquet sport that draws on tennis, squash and badminton.
The sport has been described as a fast-growing activity with social and inclusive qualities suited to community environments, where it can support exercise and social interaction.
Paul Arnold, of atlp consulting, serves as the park’s development manager on behalf of the Oxford Endowment Fund.
He said the courts would broaden the range of amenities available at the expanding site.
The proposal also reflects the fund’s ambition for the park to function as an innovation centre with a high-quality working environment.
The courts form part of a wider programme of development at Grove Business Park.
This includes three new buildings providing a combined 87,500 sq ft for technology, research and development, and laboratory purposes.
Work to create the three buildings follows the completion of the first phase of the park’s expansion.
The development is intended to reinforce Grove Business Park’s position as a strategic employment site for the region.
