Detailed proposals for the £100m Chester Racecourse masterplan have been unveiled.
The proposals were launched at an exhibition event at the site, with the scheme designed to secure the city's standing as one of the UK's top racecourses.
It is also hoped that the extended racecourse estate would help attract events to Chester throughout the year.
The masterplan comprises a number of elements, the most notable being a new grandstand, 1,000-seat conference venue and car park being built, alongside an extension to the site's existing hotel.
If approved, the project would be implemented in phases over a number of years.
Richard Thomas, chief executive of Chester Race Company, said: "Our masterplan 2018 represents a substantial commitment to the development of the Chester Racecourse site and we can apportion many additional benefits from this planned investment to the city of Chester and our local community."
