Plans to install the facility at Fakenham Sports and Fitness Centre were lodged earlier this year.
The pitch is part of an £11m revamp of the site, with works to build a new swimming pool ongoing.
The proposals also include extending the car park and installing a reinforced mesh for overflow parking.

However, concerns were raised by Norfolk County Council’s highways team over “a significant shortfall” remaining and questioned whether sufficient parking will be available.
The team added that 48 players at each session with overlapping changeovers and parents remaining to watch matches could result in significant congestion within the car park.
It suggested rotating the pitch to allow for a wider parking area, mitigate potential congestion issues, and reduce any impacts on the public highway.
A design and access statement said the development would “expand accessible sports, recreation and community facilities” and “provide valued training and competition spaces”.
The statement added: “The lack of 3G capacity places pressure on existing natural grass pitches, which are frequently overused, weather-affected and prone to winter cancellations.

“The proposed AGP will enhance football activities at Fakenham Sports and Fitness Centre, meeting local demand for artificial pitches.
“With an improved sporting amenity, the facility will become a prized resource for the local football community, offering inclusive access, long-term sustainability, and meaningful health and social benefits.”
It was also said the project will provide “a modern, durable, and inclusive all-weather sports facility”, enabling year-round football activity for the leisure centre.
The proposed hours of use for the facility are 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 8am to 8pm on Sundays and bank holidays.
