Two buildings totaling 80,000 sq ft and aimed at enhancing the venue’s visitor experience have been approved by the local council.
Chester Race Company has secured consent for a 25,000 sq ft hospitality building that will include a roof terrace for 1,000 spectators.
It will replace the current tented village on the course, providing guests with upgraded facilities on race day.
As well as providing space for fans for horseracing, the scheme could also be used for conferences, filling a gap in the market.
The second building, the 30,000 sq ft facilities hub, will be located off Saddlery Way and provide 7,500 q ft of offices and a 10,000 sq ft stables lodge.
Together, the two buildings will cost £20m to deliver.
The hospitality building was designed by Kay Elliott Architects and Chester-based Lovelock Mitchell Architects has crafted the facilities hub.
