A Lichfield hotel has applied for planning permission to retain a marquee.

Bosses at Swinfen Hall Hotel say the structure is used for weddings and other functions.

A planning statement said the addition was part of plans to allow the business to “fulfil its potential”.

> “The hotel building itself is not large enough to accommodate larger events – these are required to enable Swinfen Hall Hotel to function effectively and to run as a viable business.  
>  
> “The recently approved masterplan \[which includes the expansion of the hotel\] along with this marquee are part of a package of proposals by the new owners of the hotel to ensure Swinfen Hall can fulfil its potential as one of the premier hotel and events venues in the Midlands.”
