A FORMAL planning application has been submitted for a new £56.6m Hawick High School community campus.
The bid submitted to Scottish Borders Council’s planning department is for the rationalisation of the existing school campus and erection of a new energy-efficient school building on the current site in Buccleuch Road.
It would also incorporate new or enhanced hard and soft landscaping, internal paths, service access, car parking, and drop off areas.
It is proposed that all works will be carried out within the existing school grounds as a tandem build arrangement.
If all goes to plan building work would begin on the site in 2026.
