Chester Zoo has submitted plans for safari-style hotel lodges to be built overlooking animal habitats and lakes.
The family attraction is hoping to build 63 lodges on a grassland area it already owns near to the car park and the A41. Chester Zoo originally submitted plans in 2019 for 42 safari-style lodges and tents, but the pandemic forced this proposal to be put on hold. Now, the zoo has revealed much bigger plans.
The new proposal includes 54 lodges in varying styles and sizes to begin with, with the option to add a further nine in the future. The lodges will sleep four to six people which include a king size bed and bunk-beds.
