Plans have been approved for a further phase of regeneration at Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham, which includes the conversion of the Riding School into a large conference and events space, reports Rotherham Business News.
Described as the most exciting and challenging heritage project of a generation, overall it is set to take up to two decades to deliver and cost over £130m.
This phase focuses on the stables and a proposed £5.1m regeneration project is set to provide jobs and training for the hospitality sector at the historic site. Funding has been secured from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.
Permission has already been granted to convert part of the stables for use as a production kitchen and another part for a 120 cover café catering for visitors as they arrive and leave Wentworth Woodhouse.
A further application, from Donald Insall Architects, set out plans for the other buildings around the stables, including the conversion of the stable’s south range, the riding school and “Ostler’s House.”
