The project would see the restoration and conversion of the Grade 1-listed Doddington Hall into a 120-bedroom hotel. A restaurant and bars plus meeting and event space would be added.

Three cottages and stables standing in the grounds would be incorporated into the scheme. A new block would also be added incorporating additional bedroom accommodation plus a new spa and leisure facility.

Doddington Hall sits within 800-acres of parkland. It was designed by Samuel Wyatt and built in 1780. The mansion is privately owned and was used as a ladies college until 1985.

The planning application also includes the refurbishment and conversion of the 13th-century Delves Castle and the Grade II-listed Star Barn near to the Hall, with the use of the buildings to be defined at a later date.

The council will discuss the development at its strategic planning meeting on Wednesday 1 July.

Doddington Hall is located off the A51 between Nantwich and Woore.
