York Racecourse bosses plan a major expansion including proposals for a stand redevelopment, it was revealed today.
The first stage of the growth has been put before City of York Council, with further details being kept under close wraps before an official unveiling next week.
Councillors have been asked to allow an extension to the Gimcrack Room which will allow a larger kitchen needed to accommodate the expansion.
A Racecourse spokesman said: "This is the first application which will fit in with a broader plan which will be announced next week.
"We are planning a large scale development, but at the moment there are a number of hurdles we need to get over including planning and financial hurdles. We are not yet ready to reveal the plans.
"We are, however, looking at proposals including a major stand redevelopment, and that requires improvements to the Gimcrack Room kitchens."
