Scotland’s first Center Parcs, pending council approval, will bring jobs and tourism to Hawick starting 2029.
Scotland’s first Center Parcs holiday village, a £450 million project near Hawick, is awaiting a decision from the Scottish Borders Council on December 8.
If approved, the development on 988 acres will include lodges, a water park, spa, and recreational areas, creating about 1,200 permanent jobs and attracting over 350,000 visitors annually.
The project aims to boost the local economy and tourism, with construction set to begin in early 2027 and an opening planned for spring 2029.
While some residents and landowners have raised concerns about traffic, noise, and farmland loss, officials say impacts are manageable and outweighed by economic benefits.
A traffic assessment confirms the road network can handle increased volume, though improvements may be made.
