WORLD CLASS' FORMBY HALL MAKEOVER PLANS APPROVED - Click Liverpool

Plans to make Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa into a ‘world-class’ resort have been approved.

Sefton Council gave the green light to proposals which will see the construction of a new two-storey golf clubhouse and event space with capacity for 300 guests. Also included in CS Hotel Solutions’ redevelopment plans are extended bar and restaurant facilities, new reception building, a re-configured leisure club and a new double-storey spa plus four eco-lodges which will both be situated along one of the lakes within the resort grounds. In addition to this, there will also be a new two-storey building housing 43 en suite guest rooms with balconies or patios looking out over landscaped gardens or the golf course, plus a further 20 en suite guestrooms in the first floor conversion of the current spa and leisure building.

Christopher King, director of CS Hotel Solutions, said: “It has been great to have the support of Sefton Council in considering and approving our plans, and we are grateful that they have been able to share our vision and ambitions for the Resort. “We are confident that these redevelopment plans will not only reposition the resort as a world-class destination, it will also attract both new business and an increase in tourism to the region as a whole”.

Cllr Daren Veidman, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member Planning and Building Control, added: “We have been working with Formby Hall Golf Club for some time now on a range of planned investments into their complex and are pleased to approve this application. “This phase of investment has the potential to significantly enhance the reputation of the Formby resort, build upon Sefton’s growing tourism economy and in particular the ‘Golf Coast’ and we look forward to working with them to make these exciting plans a reality. “It really reinforces that Sefton is open for business.”
