A MULTI-MILLION pound project to regenerate a Borders village has reached “a significant milestone” now that planning permission in principle has been granted. At a meeting of the council’s planning committee on Monday (March 29), members gave their backing to the proposals. The development – put forward by H&H Group – would see Newtown St Boswells’ auction mart upgraded, as well as the creation of retail facilities, a hotel, up to 150 houses and a new campus for Borders College. Tim Ferguson, from planning agents Ferguson Planning, said the project will “create hundreds of new jobs” and “bring the auction mart into the 21st century”.
