Consent for mobile program right next to cricket ground (8)
I believe the answer is:
approval
'consent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mobile program right next to cricket ground' is the wordplay.
'mobile program' becomes 'app' (type of computer program. I am not sure about the 'mobile' bit.).
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'next to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cricket ground' becomes 'oval' (London cricket ground).
'app'+'r'+'oval'='APPROVAL'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for approval that I've seen before include "Esteem - permission" , "Favourable opinion or official permission" , "Approbation, favour" , "endorsement" , "Confirmation" .)
