The four-star Barton Manor (formerly Barton Grange) wants to build an extension, adding up to 50 new rooms, on the site of its former garden centre.
The hotel currently has 51 rooms and the owners say that is limiting its ability to compete for bigger functions and conferences as our current (room) inventory does not support the market demand.
Barton Grange, which was originally a local mill owner s country mansion and later the home of MP Levi Collinson, became a six-bed hotel in 1951 and grew to become one of the most prestigious venues in the area.
