Planning has been approved by Monmouthshire County Council for a Kennel Club building at Chepstow Racecourse designed by D5 Architects LLP.

The 1000sqft building, which will be built on the site of the condemned Northern Stand, provides a headquarters facility for The Kennel Club to host shows and training but also provides space for Chepstow Racecourse to use as conferencing and function suites on race days throughout the year.

Executive Director of Chepstow Racecourse Phil Bell said: “This is a positive move as it allows for more people at the racecourse and in the area, and will provide a great facility which can be open all days of the year.  Alongside the Kennel Club shows and training days, the hall will provide much needed exhibition space to the area.  At more than 1,000 square feet, we believe it will be the biggest indoor space without columns in Monmouthshire.”
