The public has been given a look at what the first Scottish Center Parcs location could look like once completed.
Developers have shared a flythrough video of the Scottish Borders site showing the proposed waterside lodges, apartments, lochs, spa, sports plaza, and nature and heritage centre.
It comes as the final stage of public consultation wraps up in Hawick.
A planning application is expected to be submitted by Center Parcs to Scottish Borders Council this summer, incorporating views sharing by the public during community engagement events.
The site is located three miles north of Hawick and will feature around 700 lodges within a newly afforested landscape.
Center Parcs ScotlandThe Scottish village has been modeled on the Center Parcs’ six existing villages across England and Ireland, and will include a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, shops, bars, restaurants and swimming and spa attractions.
The total investment for the new village is estimated at between £350m and £400m.
Center ParcsBetween 750 and 800 jobs could be created during construction with around 1,200 permanent, year-round roles to be created.
Colin McKinlay, CEO of Center Parcs, said: “We’ve worked hard to ensure this proposed village reflects the feedback we’ve received from the community and stakeholders over the past few months.
Center Parcs Scotland“From the layout of the lodges to how the central areas integrate with the forest setting, every element has been carefully considered. This is about creating a destination that not only brings joy to families but also respects and enhances the local environment.
“This has the potential to be a once-in-a-generation investment for the Scottish Borders. If approved, our village between Hawick and Selkirk will create over a thousand high-quality, permanent jobs and provide ongoing opportunities for local businesses.”
