Planning permission has been granted for the next phase of a redevelopment at Bath Racecourse.

The development includes the building of a new luxury grandstand which will contain a public bar, viewing steps, a trackside restaurant and roof terrace.

Jo Hall, Bath Racecourse Executive Director, said it was an exciting time for Bath Racecourse and the new improvements would further cement its reputation as a high quality destination.

“The new trackside hospitality suites [which] are already under construction, will be completed in readiness for the first meeting on 15th April 2016, with the new stand opening later in the summer,” said Jo.

“We are already receiving enquiries for events in the new facilities and we are expecting the new conference suite to be popular with organisers of corporate entertainment and events, especially since we are able to offer free parking for all guests.”

Architects D5 and the Design Works Group will lead the project along with Bath-based firm Nicholas Pearson Associates, who have consulted on the landscaping design.

The planned improvements have already met with approval from the local community with Charlcombe Parish Council saying: “Bath Racecourse is an important local amenity and Charlcombe Parish Council has welcomed the progressive development and upgrading of the racecourse facilities over recent years, which has greatly improved the visual appearance of the site.”
