PLANS to open the first Center Parcs holiday village in Scotland have taken "a major step forward".
Details of the plans for the holiday village just north of Hawick were announced at Center Parcs’ first community event held at Hawick Rugby Football Club this week.
The company has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PoAN) to Scottish Borders Council, with a full planning application expected this summer.
The PoAN is the first stage in the statutory process. It is not a planning application but a notice to the council advising how Center Parcs intends to engage with the community about its proposal.
This allows the community to put their views directly to the developer before a planning application is submitted.
Its vision for the site, which is earmarked for between Selkirk and Hawick, is to create a new woodland and lochs which will "significantly increase biodiversity".
The new holiday village would have up to 700 lodges, a spa, an indoor water park, indoor and outdoor leisure and sports facilities, as well as a mixture of retail and restaurant facilities, bars, coffee shops and a local heritage centre.
