Center Parcs arrives in Borders
First Scots park to be situated 3 miles north of Hawick
Center Parcs, the UK and Ireland’s provider of short holiday breaks, has announced it is developing proposals to create its first holiday village in Scotland, just off the A7, north of Hawick.
Proposals are at an early stage and they intend to submit a planning application in 2025. It is expected that the holiday village will boost he local economy, including by job creation. A planning application will be submitted for approximately 700 lodges. The site will offer a range of indoor and outdoor activities, shops, bars, restaurants, an Aqua Sana Forest Spa and the Subtropical Swimming Paradise indoor water park.
Center Parcs plans to undertake an extensive programme of afforestation, carefully cultivating new woodland and delivering significant biodiversity net gain on the site. The company outlined its proposals on November 5th in Hawick, and followed up with presentations to the Hawick and Selkirk Community Councils.
When plans are more advanced, it is expected that Center Parcs will mount a comprehensive presentation in Selkirk, probably at the Victoria Halls.
