Plans includes a new grandstand, a 1,000-seat conference venue with a car park built alongside plus an extension to the existing on-site Holiday Inn Express.

The conference and events facilities in the new ‘Events Building’ will be set over three levels. On race days it will house new hospitality facilities.

Car parking currently linked to Holiday Inn Express would be relocated and the plot used to create a 30 to 40 bedroom extension to the 97-bedroom hotel.

A public exhibition of the plans is currently taking place prior to a submission of planning applications to Cheshire West and Chester Council in April.
